Instructions
- Step 1: Melt 1 tbsp butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add 1/4 cup diced shallot and cook for 3 minutes until translucent and fragrant, then stir in 2 tbsp tomato paste and cook for 1 minute to deepen flavor.
- Step 2: Add 2 cups chicken broth and 12 oz lobster meat to the saucepan. Simmer gently for 10 minutes until the lobster is opaque and tender, then remove the lobster and set aside.
- Step 3: Blend the broth mixture until smooth, then return to the saucepan. Stir in 1 cup heavy cream and simmer for 5 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and coats the back of a spoon. Return lobster to the pot, add 2 tbsp chopped parsley, and heat through for 2 minutes.
