Notes

Use fresh garlic and lobster for the best flavor. For a lighter dish, swap half the cream for chicken broth. You can use shrimp, scallops, or even crab as alternatives to lobster. Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for some heat if desired. This dish keeps for 2-3 days in the fridge in an airtight container. Reheat on low heat, adding cream if needed.
