    Tips & Variations for Lobster Alfredo

    What lobster should I use for lobster alfredo?

    This recipe is great because you can use fresh, canned, or even frozen diced lobster! This makes it very convenient and affordable to fit any budget. I have made it with lobster fresh from the dock, as well as canned lobster like this.

    What pasta should I use for lobster alfredo?

    The classic pasta choice for a lobster alfredo is fettucine! But really, this recipe works equally well with any pasta of your choice. You can use angel hair, bowties, or penne if you prefer.

    Stir the Sauce Continuously!

    Make sure to continuously stir the sauce when you pour in the heavy cream. The heavy cream is delicate, and if it burns, it will ruin the sauce.

    Try Crab or Shrimp Alfredo

    Try swapping out the lobster for crab meat or shrimp (peeled and deveined first!). Or trying using a mix of all three for a truly indulgent seafood alfredo.

    Add Fresh Lemon Juice

    Add a splash of freshly squeezed lemon juice on top of the lobster alfredo when you dish it up. This adds a nice bright citrus flavor to the sauce and the lobster.

    Lobster Alfredo FAQs

    What is traditional Alfredo sauce made of?

    Alfredo sauce is a very creamy and rich white sauce. Traditional Alfredo sauces are made with heavy cream, salt, pepper, garlic, and sometimes milk.

    Are lobster tails cheaper than a whole lobster?

    Lobster and lobster tails are both pricey. You will find that buying just the tails is a bit less expensive than an entire lobster depending on where you shop. But remember, you can also use frozen or canned lobster for this recipe for a more budget friendly alternative.

    How should I store leftover alfredo?

    Store the leftover alfredo in an airtight container in the fridge for 3 - 4 days. When you're ready to eat it again, you can reheat it in the microwave or on the stovetop. Just add a bit more cream if you heat it up on the stove as the pasta soaks in a lot of the sauce as it cools in the fridge.
