Indulge in luxury dining at home with these Garlic Butter Lobster Bites served over creamy saffron-infused mashed potatoes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb lobster meat, freshly cooked and chopped
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 large potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1/4 teaspoon saffron threads
  • 1/4 cup milk

Instructions

  1. Bring a saucepan of water to a rolling boil. Add the diced potatoes and simmer until tender, which takes about 15 minutes.
  2. Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Steep the saffron threads in 2 tablespoons of hot water for about 5 minutes.
  3. Add the saffron-infused water, milk, butter, salt, and pepper to the potatoes. Mash until smooth and creamy.
  4. Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  5. Fold in the chopped lobster meat, along with lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until heated through.
  6. Serve by spooning saffron mash onto each plate and topping generously with the garlic butter lobster bites.

Notes

Use fresh lobster meat for the best flavor. Don’t rush the sautéing of garlic; it should only turn fragrant without browning.
