Description

Ingredients

• 1 pound unsalted butter at room temperature, in pieces
• 5 grape tomatoes cut in half
• 2 lobster tails, removed from shells* and cut up into large pieces
• 4 garlic cloves, minced
• 4-5 strands of saffron
• zest of half a lemon
• parsley to garnish
• 1 tbsp of water

Directions

• In a sauce pan, bring 1 tablespoon of water to simmer over medium-low heat. Whisk in 1 piece of butter. When butter has melted, add another piece. Continue with remaining butter pieces, one at a time. Make sure the mixture does NOT come to a boil, otherwise the butter will separate.
• To the butter add garlic and saffron. Steep over low heat until butter is melted.
• Continue cooking at this rate for 5 minutes. Essentially at this point you are infusing the butter with the saffron and the garlic.
• Taste the butter and add salt, pepper and lemon zest.
• Add the cut up lobster pieces and cover them with the butter. Turn the lobster pieces every minute or so to ensure that the lobster cooks evenly. Continue doing this for 8-10 minutes until lobster is cooked through.
• Remove the lobster with a slotted spoon onto serving bowl. Add cherry tomatoes to the butter stirring for 1 minute. Add tomatoes to the lobster and add in desired amount of butter. *
• Add parsley to garnish.
• Serve with crostini
