Ingredients

Scale

Seafood

  • 2 lobster tails (or 1 lb lobster meat, cooked and chopped)

Sauce

  • 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)

Garnish

  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Lobster Meat: If using lobster tails, boil or steam them for 8 to 10 minutes until fully cooked. Remove the meat from the shells and chop into bite-sized pieces. Set aside for later use.
  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 it becomes fragrant but not browned, which infuses the oil with a robust garlic flavor.
  3. Deglaze with White Wine: Pour the white wine into the skillet to deglaze the pan, scraping up any flavorful bits stuck to the bottom. Allow the wine to simmer for 2 to 3 minutes to reduce slightly and concentrate the flavors.
  4. Add Sauce Ingredients: Stir in the heavy cream, diced tomatoes, tomato paste, paprika, and dried basil. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Reduce the heat and let the sauce simmer gently for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly and the flavors meld together.
  5. Incorporate Lobster Meat: Add the chopped lobster meat into the sauce, stirring gently to combine. Cook for an additional 3 to 4 minutes so that the lobster heats thoroughly without overcooking and becoming tough.
  6. Enhance Richness (Optional): For an extra layer of richness, stir in 1 tablespoon of butter just before removing the sauce from heat, allowing it to melt smoothly into the creamy mixture.
  7. Serve and Garnish: Spoon the luscious lobster sauce over cooked pasta like linguine or fettuccine, or use it as a topping for grilled fish. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately while hot.

Notes

  • Use cooked lobster meat to cut down preparation time or substitute with shrimp for a delightful variation.
  • This sauce pairs perfectly with linguine, fettuccine, or can be served over grilled fish for a complete seafood meal.
  • For a subtle spicy kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the sauce.
  • The sauce can be made ahead of time and gently reheated over low heat; add a splash of cream to loosen the sauce if it thickens too much upon cooling.
