Florida Spiny Lobster Alfredo
This is a recipe that I’ve been excited to share for awhile. It’s something you can make entirely out of parts of the Spiny Lobster that are often thrown away: the head, knuckles and leg clusters. Let’s face it, it’s not easy to get the meat out of these parts, it’s a lot of tedious work and you don’t get a huge yield. With these 4 lobsters, I was only able to get about 7 ounces of meat, but that was more than enough for this recipe!
You will be left with a lot of shells when you’re done getting all of the meat out. These shells are perfect for making the broth for my Florida Spiny Lobster Knuckle Head Soup recipe. The main purpose of this Spiny Lobster Alfredo recipe is to show you how many delicious meals you can make with your lobsters using parts other than just the tail meat.
The Components Of Spiny Lobster Alfredo
The first component of this recipe is the lobster meat. While you can use tail meat for this recipe if you don’t have access to whole lobsters, I am using meat from the head, knuckles and leg clusters. If you do choose to use tail meat, just make sure you give it a rough chop before mixing in!
The second component is the noodles. For this recipe, I chose to make fresh, homemade noodles using my MERCATO Atlas 150 Pasta Maker, but you can opt for store bought if you would like. I used to think making noodles at home would be difficult, but it’s honestly extremely easy if you have the right tools. I originally bought my pasta maker to make ramen noodles, but have since used it for noodles of all types!
The final component is the sauce. Again, something I used to think was difficult to make couldn’t be easier! The biggest suggestion I will make about this Alfredo sauce is to go slow! You don’t need to use a super high heat, keep it on low while you add all the ingredients and let it all come together! I’m not a chef, I’m a Spearo and I did just fine! You will too! I hope you enjoy this recipe:
