This lobster dish is a real treat, poached in butter and white wine for an irresistible seafood flavor. If you love seafood, this recipe will surely impress! This recipe highlights the delicate flavors of lobster with the rich essence of butter and a hint of white wine, making it a delightful dish that's both easy to prepare and wonderfully flavorful.
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup White wine
- 8 tbsp Unsalted butter
- 1 pound Uncooked lobster meat
Instructions
- In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter with the white wine.
- Add the lobster meat to the saucepan once the butter is melted. Cook gently over low heat for 4 to 5 minutes. Cooking too fast can cause the lobster to release a white protein substance called pellicle, which isn't harmful but isn't very attractive.
- Flip the lobster over and cook for another 4 to 5 minutes, until it turns bright white and feels firm to the touch, ensuring it's cooked just right.
- Taste and season with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper as desired.
Notes
- Enjoy this butter-poached lobster right after cooking for the best taste.
- To store, keep it covered in the poaching liquid in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 days. You can also freeze it, covered, for up to 3 months. Thaw frozen lobster in the refrigerator for about 1 day before reheating.
