Ingredients
  

Seafood
  • 1 pound lobster, cooked and chopped
  • 1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
Sauce Ingredients
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter Divided; 2 tablespoons for sautéing garlic
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
Garnishes
  • none Fresh parsley, chopped For garnish
  • none Lemon wedges For serving

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add in the minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until it's fragrant.
  2. Toss in the shrimp and season with salt and black pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the shrimp turns pink (about 3-5 minutes).
  3. Gently fold in the chopped lobster and let it warm through.
  4. Pour in the heavy cream and stir until everything is nicely combined. Allow it to simmer for about 2-3 minutes.
  5. Add the remaining butter, let it melt, and stir to combine.
  6. Remove from heat, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve with lemon wedges on the side.

Notes

Don't rush the garlic to avoid bitterness. Consider adding a splash of white wine before the cream for enhanced flavor. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
