Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Seafood

    In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and chopped shallots, cooking until softened and fragrant.

  2. 2

    Cook the Lobster

    Add the whole lobster to the pot and pour in the lobster saffron broth. Bring to a simmer and cook for about 10 minutes.

    Stir in the mussels and shrimp. Cook until the mussels have opened and the shrimp are pink, about 5-7 minutes.
