About This Recipe:
Who says cooking at home can’t be fancy? Aside from the fact that this dish requires lobster and has an exotic name, it is not intimidating at all and can be prepared in just 30 minutes. This recipe is perfect for a date night at home, or just a solo delicious lunch (because you deserve it!) I love spicy food so I use 2 tsps of crushed red pepper flakes, but feel free to scale based on your preference!
Enjoy!
