Lobster Diablo is a flavorful seafood dish featuring tender lobster meat in a rich, spicy mushroom and green pepper sauce, topped with cheese and bread crumbs, perfect for special occasions.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix sherry wine, chopped mushrooms, and diced green pepper in a saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly for 15 minutes.
- Remove from heat and stir in paprika and sliced pimiento.
- Add salt and pepper to taste. Transfer the mixture to a baking dish.
- Top with a mixture of bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese.
- Bake in a moderately hot oven for 15 minutes until golden and bubbly.
Tips & Substitutions
For optimal flavor, consider using fresh lobster meat instead of frozen. If sherry wine isn't available, dry white wine can be a good substitute. You can also add a pinch of cayenne pepper for extra heat. If you prefer a vegetarian option, replace the lobster with sautéed spinach or mushrooms, similar to those used in Spinach Stuffed Fish Fillets With Parsley Rice.
Serving Suggestions
Serve Lobster Diablo as a delightful appetizer or main course, paired with a crisp green salad or garlic bread. A chilled glass of white wine complements the dish beautifully. For a more substantial meal, consider serving it alongside American recipes like Deluxe Seafood Chowder for a seafood feast.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover Lobster Diablo in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, place it in an oven-safe dish and cover with foil, warming it at 350°F until heated through to maintain the texture of the bread crumbs and cheese topping.
