Garlic Butter Lobster Bites with Saffron Mash

Presented by Chef Zouheir

Ingredients

2 lobster tails, cut into bite-sized pieces

4 tablespoons butter

3 cloves garlic, minced

4 Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and cubed

1/2 teaspoon saffron threads

1/2 cup heavy cream

Salt and pepper, to taste

Fresh parsley, for garnish

Instructions

Prepare the Saffron Mash:

Place the peeled and cubed Yukon gold potatoes in a pot. Add the saffron threads and enough water to cover the potatoes.

Bring to a boil and cook until the potatoes are tender, about 15-20 minutes.

Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Mash the potatoes with the heavy cream and 2 tablespoons of butter until smooth.

Season the mash with salt and pepper to taste. Keep the mash warm and set aside.

Cook the Lobster Bites

In a large skillet, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat.

Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Add the lobster pieces to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the lobster turns opaque and is just cooked through.

Season the lobster bites with salt and pepper to taste.
