Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 lobster tails (or 1 lb lobster meat, cooked and chopped)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup white wine
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup diced tomatoes (fresh or canned)
  • 1 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp dried basil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tbsp butter (optional, for extra richness)
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Lobster: If using lobster tails, boil or steam them for 8–10 minutes until cooked through. Remove the meat from the shells and chop into bite-sized pieces. Set aside.
  2. Sauté Garlic: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant but not browned.
  3. Deglaze with Wine: Pour in the white wine to deglaze the pan, scraping any bits from the bottom. Let it simmer for 2–3 minutes to reduce slightly and concentrate flavor.
  4. Add Cream and Tomatoes: Stir in the heavy cream, diced tomatoes, tomato paste, paprika, and dried basil. Season the mixture with salt and pepper. Simmer gently for 5–7 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
  5. Incorporate Lobster Meat: Add the chopped lobster meat to the sauce and cook for an additional 3–4 minutes until heated through and flavors meld.
  6. Finish with Butter: For added richness, stir in 1 tablespoon of butter just before serving, allowing it to melt into the sauce.
  7. Serve and Garnish: Spoon the lobster sauce over your choice of pasta or seafood, garnish with freshly chopped parsley, and serve hot.

Notes

  • You can substitute lobster tails with pre-cooked lobster meat for convenience.
  • Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper according to taste.
  • For a thicker sauce, simmer a few minutes longer before adding lobster meat.
  • Serve with linguine, fettuccine, or over grilled fish for an elegant meal.
  • White wine can be substituted with dry vermouth if preferred.
