    Expert Tips 

    • For the best flavor, use fresh lobster meat. You can also use frozen lobster meat, but make sure to thaw it completely before using.
    • If you don't have Old Bay Seasoning, you can substitute it with Cajun seasoning or Italian seasoning.
    • Be careful not to overcook the lobster meat, as it can become tough and rubbery.
    • You can garnish your lobster Alfredo with some fresh parsley or chopped chives for a pop of color and added flavor.

    Variations

    • Add vegetables: You can add some sautéed or roasted vegetables to your lobster Alfredo for some extra texture and flavor. Asparagus, cherry tomatoes, spinach, and peas are all great options.
    • Use a different pasta: While fettuccine is the classic choice for Alfredo sauce, you can switch things up by using penne, linguine, or spaghetti.
    • Add some spice: If you like your food spicy, you can add some red pepper flakes or chopped jalapeño to your Alfredo sauce for a kick.
    • Use a different type of seafood: If you can't find lobster meat, you can use shrimp, crab meat, or scallops instead. Just make sure to adjust the cooking time accordingly.

    Storing & Freezing

    Storing: Leftovers will keep for about 3 days in an airtight container in the refrigerator, but you may want to add a splash of milk when you reheat.

    Freezing: Lobster Alfredo is best served fresh, however you can freeze it in a freezer safe zip top bag, laying flat in the freezer for up to 3 months.

    Recipe FAQ's

    Can I use a different type of cheese other than parmesan?

    Yes! Fresh parmesan can be expensive, so Romano is a perfect substitute. Romano is used often in place of fresh parmesan.

    How do I thicken Alfredo sauce?

    Make a slurry of 1 tablespoon water and 1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed together. Add it to the sauce, stir, and bring to a simmer. The sauce will thicken in a few minutes.

    How do I thin my Alfredo sauce?

    If your sauce is too thick, add a splash of milk or cream to thin it out to your desired consistency. You can also add some cooking pasta water and toss to combine.

    What do I eat with lobster Alfredo?

    Some crusty bread or garlic bread and a green salad with Italian dressing are the perfect compliments to this meal.
