Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 pound lobster meat, cooked and chopped into bite-sized pieces
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced because, duh, garlic makes everything better
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice, fresh fresh is best!
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Crusty bread or crackers for serving

Method
 

Cooking Steps
  1. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
  2. Add the minced garlic to the skillet, cooking for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  3. Toss in the chopped lobster meat and give it a gentle stir to coat it in the butter and garlic mixture. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the lobster is heated through.
  4. Add the lemon juice, parsley, salt, and pepper. Stir everything together.
  5. Spoon the lobster mixture onto your crusty bread or crackers and serve.

Notes

If you’re in a pinch, you can substitute the lobster with shrimp or crab. A splash of heavy cream can add extra creaminess. Keep an eye on the garlic to avoid burning.
