Mike's Mom's Lobster Stew

made w/ Whole Maine Lobster from Look's Gourmet Food Company

This is the recipe that the president of Look's Gourmet Food Company's mom uses to make the most fantastic Lobster Stew! It's quick and easy and with Look's Whole Maine Lobster on hand, you can make it anytime! Serve with a Garden Salad and a crusty bread and you have a great gourmet meal! This same recipe also makes a great Maine Mussel Stew - just substitute (2) cans of Look's Maine Mussels for Lobster.

1/4 cup chopped onion
1/4 cup chopped celery
1 small clove of garlic, minced
1/2 stick of butter
3 cups milk, cream, half & half, or vanilla soymilk (if lactose intolerant!)
2 cans Look's Whole Maine Lobster (preserve the juice!)

· On medium heat, sauté onion, celery and garlic in butter.
 

· Add Lobster (cut into smaller pieces, if desired, but we like the large pieces!)
 

· Thoroughly coat Lobster in butter mixture.

· Add preserved juice from cans of Lobster

· Add milk, cream, half & half or soymilk

· Heat gently until hot, but don't let mixture boil (it will toughen the lobster)

  Serves 4 (maybe!)
