Butterflied Lobster with Curry Butter

Butterflied Lobster with Curry Butter
Need From preparation to the plate, this recipe takes about 1 hour. A mixture of madras curry powder, olive oil, salt and pepper, and a handful of other ingredients are all it takes to make this recipe so tasty. To use up the unsalted butter you could follow this main course with the Almond Milk Chocolate Pudding as a dessert. It is a rather pricey recipe for fans of Indian food.

Recommended wine: Chablis, Chardonnay

Lobster works really well with Chablis and Chardonnay. Chablis is perfect with lobster, but a chardonny from other regions is bound to hit the spot too. The Samuel Billaud Chablis Premier Cru Les Vaillons Vieilles Vignes with a 4.7 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 33 dollars per bottle.
