Made this last night for dinner and it was very rich, very tasty, and very easy. DH wished the taste of the lobster shone through more (maybe we would use more/bigger lobster tails next time), though I thought it was great as it was. Thanks for posting this impressive dish. I served with a side of roasted asparagus.

I am college student in South Carolina with a passion for food. I recently discovered my passion for cooking, and found that whether or not the dish is for me, I love to cook for others as well. In fact the majority of what I cook is not for me, but for my family. I live at the beach, and am a lover of all foods. I enjoy surfing, fishing, outdoor activities, and cooking. I hope that I can be an asset to this site.
