Lazy Lobster is a quick and easy seafood recipe that delivers rich, buttery, garlic-infused lobster meat, perfect for a delicious and satisfying meal without complicated preparation.
Ingredients
Scale
Seafood
- 2 lobsters, cooked and shelled
Sauce
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
Optional
- Fresh bread or rice, for serving
Instructions
- Melt Butter: In a large skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat until it starts to bubble gently.
- Sauté Garlic: Add the minced garlic to the melted butter and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant and golden, being careful not to burn it.
- Add Lobster Meat: Gently place the cooked, shelled lobster meat into the skillet. Toss carefully to coat the lobster pieces evenly with the garlic butter sauce.
- Season: Sprinkle in the crushed red pepper flakes (if using), then season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir well to combine all flavors.
- Add Lemon Juice: Drizzle the fresh lemon juice over the lobster mixture and stir for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the lobster to warm through and absorb the tangy citrus notes.
- Finish with Parsley: Remove the skillet from heat and fold in the chopped fresh parsley, which adds a fresh, vibrant layer of flavor.
- Serve Immediately: Transfer the Lazy Lobster to a serving dish. Serve hot alongside fresh bread or rice for a complete and delicious seafood meal.
Notes
- Using cooked lobster simplifies and speeds up preparation time.
- Adjust the crushed red pepper flakes to control the heat level.
- Serve with crusty bread or steamed rice to soak up the flavorful garlic butter sauce.
- Fresh parsley adds a pop of color and a fresh herbal note.
- If fresh lobster is not available, high-quality frozen lobster meat can be used as an alternative.
