Ingredients

For the Lobster & Asparagus

  • 2 cooked lobster tails (about 8–10 oz lobster meat), cut into large chunks

  • 1 bunch fresh asparagus, trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces

  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 3 cloves garlic, finely minced

  • ¼ cup dry white wine (Sauvignon Blanc or Chardonnay recommended)

  • Zest of ½ lemon

  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

  • Salt, to taste

  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped

Optional Add-Ins

  • Pinch of red pepper flakes (for heat)

  • ¼ cup heavy cream (for a creamy version)

  • Fresh thyme or tarragon for added aroma

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare the Asparagus

Heat olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add asparagus pieces and sauté for 3–4 minutes until tender-crisp and vibrant green. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Remove from skillet and set aside.

2. Build the Garlic Butter Base

In the same skillet, melt the remaining butter over medium-low heat.
Add minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant—do not let it brown.

3. Deglaze with Wine

Pour in the white wine and simmer for 1–2 minutes, scraping up any browned bits from the pan. Allow the sauce to reduce slightly for concentrated flavor.

4. Add Lobster Chunks

Gently add lobster chunks to the skillet. Toss carefully to coat in the sauce and warm through for 2–3 minutes. Avoid overcooking to keep the lobster tender.

5. Finish the Dish

Stir in lemon zest, lemon juice, and parsley. Return the asparagus to the skillet and gently combine everything. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.

6. Serve Immediately

Serve hot while the lobster is perfectly tender and the sauce is glossy.

Serving Suggestions

This dish is incredibly versatile. Try serving it:

  • Over buttered linguine or fettuccine

  • On top of creamy Parmesan risotto

  • With garlic mashed potatoes

  • Alongside crusty artisan bread

  • As a standalone low-carb entrée

Tips for Perfect Lobster

  • Use already cooked lobster to avoid overcooking

  • Cut lobster into large chunks to maintain texture

  • Keep heat gentle once lobster is added

  • Fresh lobster is ideal, but high-quality frozen lobster works well when thawed properly

Recipe Variations

Creamy Lobster with Asparagus

After reducing the wine, add ¼ cup heavy cream and simmer gently before adding lobster.

Lemon-Butter Lobster

Increase lemon juice to 2 tablespoons and add a touch of capers for brightness.

Asian-Inspired Twist

Swap butter for sesame oil, add ginger and a splash of soy sauce, and finish with sesame seeds.

Keto / Low-Carb Version

Serve over cauliflower rice or sautéed zucchini noodles.

Storage & Reheating

  • Storage: Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days

  • Reheating: Warm gently over low heat with a splash of butter or cream

  • Do not microwave—it will toughen the lobster
