A luxurious, creamy lobster sauce made with garlic, white wine, tomato, and fresh lobster meat, perfect for serving over pasta or seafood for an elegant and indulgent meal.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 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. If using lobster tails, boil or steam for 8–10 minutes. Remove meat from shells and chop into bite-sized pieces. Set aside.
  2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  3. Pour in the white wine, deglazing the pan and simmering for 2–3 minutes to reduce slightly.
  4. Stir in heavy cream, diced tomatoes, tomato paste, paprika, and basil. Season with salt and pepper. Simmer for 5–7 minutes until slightly thickened.
  5. Add chopped lobster meat and cook for another 3–4 minutes until heated through.
  6. For added richness, stir in 1 tbsp of butter just before serving.
  7. Spoon over pasta or seafood, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve hot.

Notes

  • Use cooked lobster meat for quicker preparation or substitute with shrimp for a variation.
  • Pair with linguine, fettuccine, or over grilled fish for a full meal.
  • Add a pinch of cayenne for a subtle heat if desired.
  • Can be made ahead and gently reheated over low heat, adding a splash of cream if needed.
