Sauce Ingredients
- 1 cup cooked lobster meat, chopped
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Gather all ingredients ensuring the lobster meat is fully cooked and finely chopped for even distribution in the sauce.
- Melt Butter: In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter until it is bubbly but not browned to avoid any bitter flavors.
- Sauté Garlic: Add the minced garlic to the butter and sauté for about one minute, stirring constantly until fragrant but not browned.
- Add Cream: Pour in the heavy cream and reduce the heat slightly. Let the mixture simmer while stirring occasionally for about three minutes to thicken slightly.
- Incorporate Lobster Meat: Gently fold in the chopped lobster meat and allow it to simmer with the sauce for another two minutes, warming the meat through and infusing the sauce with lobster flavor.
- Finish with Herbs: Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the fresh chopped parsley and basil to add brightness and freshness before serving the sauce over your favorite lobster ravioli or pasta.
Notes
- Use fresh lobster meat for the best flavor, or high-quality cooked lobster tails if fresh is unavailable.
- Do not overcook the garlic to prevent it from turning bitter.
- The sauce pairs excellently with seafood ravioli or simple pasta like fettuccine or linguine.
- For a lighter version, substitute half-and-half for the heavy cream, but the sauce will be less rich.
- Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor as the sauce thickens on standing.
