Ingredients

  • 2 lobsters
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 4 large potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Directions

  1. In a large pot, bring the chicken broth to a boil. Add the lobsters and cook for about 8 minutes until they turn bright red. Remove the lobsters from the broth and let them cool.
  2. Once the lobsters are cool enough to handle, remove the meat from the shells, chop it into small pieces, and set it aside.
  3. In a separate saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  4. Sprinkle the flour into the saucepan and whisk continuously for 2 minutes to cook off the raw flour taste.
  5. Slowly pour in the chicken broth, whisking constantly to prevent lumps from forming. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for 5 minutes until slightly thickened.
  6. Stir in the heavy cream, salt, black pepper, parsley, and lemon juice. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  7. Add the chopped lobster meat to the sauce and heat through for 2-3 minutes.
  8. In a separate pot, boil the peeled and diced potatoes until tender. Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot.
  9. Add milk, butter, salt, and black pepper to the potatoes. Mash them until smooth and creamy.
  10. Serve the lobster sauce over the mashed potatoes and garnish with additional parsley, if desired. Enjoy!
