My mother was Italian and I learned to cook helping her in the kitchen when I was young. I make this dish for my family every Christmas.

Saute garlic in olive oil. Remove garlic and saute cleaned lobster pieces in the olive oil until red. Remove lobster and deglaze pan with 1/2 cup dry white wine. Add 4 - 28 oz cans kitchen ready tomatoes, chopped fresh parsley, salt, pepper and the cooked lobster pieces. Slowly simmer one hour.

Looks excellent, and it happens I have a few lobster tails in the freezer. Will collect the recipe!

I use the same recipe to make cioppino by adding mussels, shrimp, crab claws and cherrystone clams with the lobster. I serve that in big bowls along with crusty Italian garlic bread for dipping instead of the pasta and a salad. It works well for any and all shellfish. Enjoy.

Actually, one of my favorite "hybrid" recipes is about halfway between Bouillabaisse and Cioppino, known in the the family as "Fishy Soup". The other, "CapoRatto", is about halfway between Caponata and Ratatouille.

From what I’ve seen so far, you seem to be comfortable improvising in your cooking. In my opinion, that’s the sign of an experienced cook who is confident developing his or her own recipes. My mother never used a recipe book and changed each recipe based on the ingredients that were available and her own creativity just like you. 👍👍

Thank you, too kind! Tasting, which is impractical in this situation, is the only measure that counts!
