Ingredients
- 1 package lobster ravioli
- ½ lb. of fresh, cooked lobster meat, preferably with two small tails cut lengthwise
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1/8 cup dry white wine
For the saffron cream sauce
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 shallot, minced
- ½ cup dry white wine
- 2 good pinches saffron threads
- 2 cups whipping cream
- ¼ teaspoon of cayenne pepper
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh chives
Directions
- Saffron cream sauce: Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Add shallot and cook until translucent. De-glaze by adding wine; cooking and stirring until wine evaporates (about 3 minutes). Add cream and saffron. Lower heat and simmer, cooking until sauce has reduced to just about half. Add salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat. Finish with cayenne pepper.
- Cook ravioli by following the preparation on the package, drain.
- Lobster: While ravioli is cooking, melt butter in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add lobster pieces and toss to coat with butter. Add wine. Cook until you have a nice medium brown color on the white meat, carefully flipping the skillet, or stirring, to cook lobster on all sides—about 3-4 minutes. Set aside.
- Plating: Add 3-4 tablespoons of sauce on each plate. Place 3-5 ravioli on top. Spoon sauce over ravioli. Top with a few lobster pieces. Garnish with snipped chives that you will lay on top and across the entire dish. If you like a little kick; sprinkle with a tiny bit of cayenne pepper.
