🍽 Ingredients

• 1/2 lb Lobster meat (cooked)
• 1 bunch Asparagus
• 4 tbsp Butter
• 4 cloves Garlic
• 1/4 cup White wine
• to taste Salt
• to taste Pepper
• 1 tbsp Olive oil
• 1 sprig Parsley (optional)

📖 Instructions

1. First things first, let's tackle the asparagus. Snap off the tough ends of the asparagus spears—you know, the woody bits that are a bit too fibrous. If you have an asparagus peeler, give them a quick peel to remove any stringy bits for extra tenderness. Trust me on this one; it makes a difference. Then, toss 'em with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them out on a baking sheet in a single layer, and into a preheated 400°F (200°C) oven they go. Roast for about 12-15 minutes, or until they're tender-crisp and slightly charred—you'll know it when you see it; it's a beautiful thing.
2. Next, let's get cooking that lobster. If you're using live lobster, well, that's an adventure in itself! But for this recipe, let's assume we're working with cooked lobster meat (either pre-cooked or cooked lobster tails). Cut the lobster meat into bite-sized pieces. Make sure to be careful here—no one wants a lobster claw incident! Remember that safety first thing I mentioned earlier? Yeah, well, it applies here too.
3. Now, the star of the show: the garlic butter sauce. Melt some butter (about 4 tablespoons) in a large skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic (about 4 cloves) and sauté for a minute or two—until it's fragrant, but not browned. Don't let it burn! We don't want bitter garlic. You want it to be flavorful and delicious. Add a splash of white wine (about 1/4 cup) if you're feeling fancy. Let it reduce for a couple of minutes. Then, stir in the cooked lobster and toss to coat it all in that lovely garlic butter goodness.
4. Finally, once the asparagus is perfectly roasted, gently toss it with the lobster in the skillet. Make sure every piece gets coated in that dreamy garlic butter sauce. Season with extra salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately and watch your guests lose their minds over this insanely flavorful dish! You're doing an amazing job! Don't forget a sprig of parsley for garnish—it adds a touch of elegance.
5. Optional: If you have some fresh lemon juice, a squeeze of that right before serving will add a beautiful burst of acidity that cuts through the richness of the butter and lobster. You'll be a culinary rockstar in no time!

📝 Notes

• For extra richness, use clarified butter.
• Feel free to add other herbs like thyme or rosemary to the asparagus.
• If you don’t have white wine, you can substitute chicken broth or water
