Description

You will be licking all the extra velvety saffron butter sauce off your plate.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound Lobster Tail Or Shrimp Or Scallops
  • 1 teaspoon Olive Oil
  • 1 whole Shallot, Minced
  • 1 clove Garlic, Minced
  • ⅓ cups White Wine

  • 3 Tablespoons Butter, Cubed
  • ½ whole Lemon, Juiced
  • 1 pinch Kosher Salt
  • 1 pinch Cayenne Pepper

Preparation

Cook pasta according to instructions.

If using lobster, steam for 4 minutes, remove and set aside to cool. Once cooled, remove meat from tail and chop into bites. If using shrimp or scallops, add them later.

Heat olive oil in a pan and add minced shallot and garlic. Cook for 2 minutes until softened.

Add wine to pan and simmer until reduced by half. Add cream and saffron threads. Stir until incorporated.

Add butter one piece at a time until incorporated. Add lemon juice, salt and cayenne to pan.

Add shrimp or scallops and cook until shrimp turns pink (2 minutes). Remove from heat.

Drain pasta and add to sauce. Also, if using lobster, add to pasta and sauce.

Serve.

Quick and relatively easy to make, my only complaint was there really was not enough sauce to cover the lobster and pasta.
