  • 1 cup heavy cream For a rich and creamy sauce.
  • 1 cup shellfish stock Can substitute with seafood or vegetable stock.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat on the stove over low heat to regain creaminess. For a budget-friendly variation, try using shrimp instead of lobster.
