Yum, yum, yum! Back off on the Tabasco a bit if you don't like your heat at full-throttle, but we simply loved this recipe as-is. Lobster and shrimp both work great!

1 1/4 lb lobster meat (and/or crab or shrimp)
2 1/2 large tomatos
2 large green peppers
4 celery stalks

  • 2. When your veggies are translucent and tender add an additional 1/4 to 1/2 stick of butter melt, stir together blend well.
  • 3. Then slowly add flour while constantly mixing. Roux will have a slightly pastey consistency not too thick!
