Description

Enjoy succulent lobster bites bathed in rich garlic butter sauce, served over a bed of creamy saffron-infused mashed potatoes. This recipe is perfect for a quick weeknight meal or an elegant appetizer.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lobster tails, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 4 tbsp butter
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 1/2 tsp saffron threads
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Saffron Mash: Boil the potatoes with saffron threads until tender (about 15 minutes). Drain and return to the pot. Mash with heavy cream, butter, salt, and pepper until smooth. Keep warm.
  2. Cook the Lobster Bites: Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté minced garlic until fragrant (about 30 seconds). Add the lobster pieces and cook for 3-4 minutes, until opaque. Season with salt and pepper.
  3. Assemble the Dish: Spoon a generous amount of saffron mash onto a plate. Top with the garlic butter lobster bites and garnish with fresh parsley.

Notes

  • Use fresh lobster for the best flavor.
  • Adjust garlic to your preference.
