If you're looking for an impressive dish to serve to your guests, look no further than lobster ravioli with lemon butter sauce. This dish may seem intimidating, but it's actually quite easy to make and will have your guests thinking you're a gourmet chef.
Ingredients:
- 1 lb. lobster meat, cooked and chopped
- 1 package of wonton wrappers
- 1 stick of unsalted butter
- 1 shallot, minced
- 1/2 cup of white wine
- 1 cup of heavy cream
- 1/2 lemon, juiced and zested
- 1/4 cup of chopped parsley
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
- Begin by making the filling for the ravioli. In a mixing bowl, mix the cooked and chopped lobster meat with 1/4 cup of the heavy cream, salt, and pepper to taste. Set aside.
- Take a wonton wrapper and put one tablespoon of filling in the center. Wet the edges with water and fold over to make a triangle. Seal the edges well and set aside. Repeat until all the filling is used.
- In a large pot of boiling water, cook the ravioli for 3-4 minutes or until they float to the surface. Drain and set aside.
- While the ravioli is cooking, make the sauce. In a large skillet, melt 1 stick of unsalted butter over medium heat. Add minced shallot and saute for 2-3 minutes until soft.
- Add 1/2 cup of white wine and let it reduce by half. Add 3/4 cup of heavy cream and let it simmer for 5-7 minutes.
- Add 1/2 lemon, juiced and zested, and 1/4 cup of chopped parsley. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve the ravioli with the lemon butter sauce on top.
This recipe serves 4-6 people and takes about 45 minutes to prepare.
Tips:
- If you're short on time, you can use pre-made ravioli and just make the sauce from scratch.
- Make sure the edges of the ravioli are sealed well to prevent the filling from coming out while cooking.
- If you don't have white wine, you can substitute with chicken or vegetable broth.
- If you prefer a thicker sauce, you can add a tablespoon of cornstarch mixed with water to the sauce and let it simmer for a few more minutes.
- Garnish with additional chopped parsley and lemon zest for presentation.
