Gordon Ramsay Butter Poached Lobster
Gordon Ramsay’s butter-poached lobster is an alluring gourmet masterpiece, drenched in white wine and butter. This sumptuous seafood meal can be prepared in approximately 15 minutes and is sure to amaze any dinner guest.
Ingredients
- ¼ cup white wine
- 8 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 pound uncooked lobster meat
Instructions
- Put the wine and butter in a small pot and cook them together on low.
- Add the lobster meat to the melted butter and simmer for 4 to 5 minutes on low heat.
- Too rapid cooking causes the release of pellicle, a white protein material that is edible but unappealing on lobster.
- Cook for another 4 to 5 minutes, or until the meat is white and firm but not overcooked, after which you should flip the lobster over.
- Season with cracked pepper and sea salt, but don’t forget to taste it first.
Notes
- Low Heat Simmer: Keep the heat low for a slow, even cook.
- Avoid Rapid Cooking: Prevent pellicle release by avoiding rapid cooking.
- Quality Ingredients: Use fresh, high-quality lobster for better flavor.
- Taste Before Seasoning: Ensure balanced seasoning by tasting before adding more.
