    Tips & Tricks for Lobster Alfredo

    Type of Lobster

    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.

    Pasta

    I recommend cooking the pasta to al dente. Depending on the brand or style of pasta, just follow the directions on the box.

    Stir Sauce Continuously

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

    Variations to Lobster Alfredo

    Crab Meat

    Try swapping out the lobster for crab meat. This is going to transform the flavor, but your alfredo will still be loaded with delicious seafood!

    Shrimp

    Another meat alternative is swapping lobster with peeled and deveined shrimp. Just toss in the shrimp at the same time as you would toss in lobster. Make sure to cook the shrimp until they're fully cooked.

    Lemon Juice

    Add a splash of lemon juice on top of the alfredo when you dish it up. It will add 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 cream 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. Find which method works best for you.

    How to 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.
