Ingredients

Scale

Seafood

2 lobster tails (or 1 lb lobster meat, cooked and chopped)

Sauce

2 tbsp olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup white wine
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup diced tomatoes (fresh or canned)
1 tbsp tomato paste
1/2 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp dried basil
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tbsp butter (optional, for extra richness)

Garnish

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

Prepare Lobster Meat: If using lobster tails, boil or steam them for 8–10 minutes until fully cooked. Remove the meat from the shells and chop into bite-sized pieces, then set aside.
Sauté Garlic: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant but not browned.
Deglaze with Wine: Pour in the white wine, scraping up any browned bits from the pan. Let it simmer for 2–3 minutes to reduce slightly and concentrate the flavor.
Make Sauce Base: Stir in the heavy cream, diced tomatoes, tomato paste, paprika, and dried basil. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Allow the sauce to simmer gently for 5–7 minutes until it thickens slightly.
Add Lobster Meat: Add the chopped lobster meat into the sauce, stirring gently. Cook for an additional 3–4 minutes to heat the lobster through and meld the flavors.
Enrich the Sauce: For extra richness, stir in 1 tablespoon of butter just before serving to give the sauce a glossy finish.
Serve and Garnish: Spoon the lobster sauce over cooked pasta or your choice of seafood. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately while hot.

Notes

Use fresh or frozen lobster tails depending on availability; ensure lobster is fully cooked before adding to the sauce.
White wine can be substituted with dry vermouth or seafood broth if preferred.
For a lighter version, consider using half-and-half instead of heavy cream.
The sauce pairs beautifully with linguine, fettuccine, or as a topping for grilled fish.
Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper according to taste, remembering that seafood and wine add natural saltiness.
