Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Gnocchi

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the potato gnocchi and cook according to package instructions until they float to the surface. Drain and set aside.

  2. 2

    Make the Brown Butter

    In a large skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Continue cooking, stirring frequently, until the butter turns a golden brown color and has a nutty aroma. Be careful not to burn it.

  3. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    Add the cooked gnocchi to the skillet with the brown butter. Gently toss to coat. Add the fresh peas and cook for about 2 minutes until they are tender.

  4. 4

    Add Cream and Lobster

    Lower the heat and pour in the heavy cream, stirring to combine. Then add the chopped lobster meat and Meyer lemon zest. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, allowing the cream to thicken slightly.

  5. 5

    Season and Serve

    Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Serve hot, garnished with additional Meyer lemon zest if desired.
