Ingredients
Scale
Seafood
- 1 cup cooked lobster meat, chopped
Dairy
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 cup heavy cream
Aromatics & Herbs
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Gather all ingredients, ensuring the lobster meat is fully cooked and chopped into bite-size pieces for even distribution in the sauce.
- Melt Butter: Place a skillet over medium heat and melt the unsalted butter. Heat it until it becomes bubbly but avoid browning to maintain a smooth flavor base.
- Sauté Garlic: Add the minced garlic to the butter and sauté for about one minute until fragrant, which will infuse the butter with garlic aroma without burning the garlic.
- Add Cream and Simmer: Pour in the heavy cream, stirring occasionally, and let the mixture simmer for approximately three minutes. This thickens the sauce slightly and blends the flavors.
- Incorporate Lobster: Gently fold the chopped lobster meat into the simmering cream sauce and allow it to cook for an additional two minutes to warm through and meld the flavors together.
- Add Fresh Herbs and Serve: Remove the skillet from heat, stir in chopped fresh parsley and basil to add brightness and herbal notes. Serve immediately over your favorite cooked ravioli or pasta.
Notes
- Use fresh lobster meat or fully cooked lobster tails for best flavor and texture.
- Do not let the butter brown to avoid bitterness in the sauce.
- Simmer the cream gently to prevent curdling and achieve a silky sauce.
- Fresh herbs should be added at the end to retain their vibrant color and taste.
- Serve over fresh or store-bought lobster ravioli or any delicate pasta for a luxurious meal.
