Creamed lobster is an excellent way to prepare lobster. The buttery, creamy sauce enhances the sweet lobster without overwhelming the flavors. I have made this recipe several times. It’s great on puff pastry shells, toast points, biscuits, pasta, rice, or mashed potatoes.
What to Serve With Lobster
- Vegetables: Plain steamed asparagus, green beans, peas, or broccoli are excellent choices.
- Grilled Corn on the Cob: Charred sweet corn on the cob complements lobster beautifully.
- Caesar Salad: Caesar salad adds a refreshing contrast to the rich sweetness of the lobster.
- White Wine: Chardonnay and Reisling pair nicely with lobster, or serve it with Champagne.
