Lobster Diavolo on a dark and stormy night …

Yesterday Joey doesn’t tell me it’s his birthday (like I would be able to spank him 24 times) but he does tell me he has a hankering for lobster diavolo. Once described I grab some lobsters and head back to the homestead. I figured if I said “honey, I’m making lobster diavolo”, I could chop up the lobsters but by the time I get to throwing them in the dutch oven someone would take charge. But it was all, “that’s great I’ll just have a glass of red wine and not even watch.”

 

Yikes, I gotta do it all by myself? A search of GMG and I have the recipe. Basil, parsley and the hot dried red peppers out of the garden. If I do say so myself, it came out pretty tasty.

I did it all by myself

The Mrs Comes Through With The Lobster Fra Diavolo Recipe She Used (and modified a bit)

It’s rare that the Mrs finds time in her day to respond for recipe requests but here you go-

She used this recipe (and modified it just a bit)  I like my sauce thick and full of flavor and this was the bomb!

She writes-

I just realized I never sent the recipe…

here is the link. I didn’t use the lobster broth – I basically made the sauce and then added cooked lobster meet at the end.

Hope this helps!

Here’s a pic of the one the Mrs made the other night-

Oh, I should also add that she only uses canned San Marzano tomatoes for her zugu.  They cost a little more but if you want the best, that’s what you buy.
