Ingredients
(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
1 lb fresh lobster meat, cooked and chopped into small pieces
4 large flour tortillas
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
1/4 cup unsalted butter
1 clove garlic, minced
1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
1 tablespoon butter or oil, for greasing the baking dish
Directions
Preheat your oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a medium baking dish with butter or oil.
If using lobster tails, cook them first by boiling or steaming until fully cooked, then remove the meat from the shells and chop it into bite-sized pieces. If using cooked lobster meat, simply chop it and set it aside.
In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 to 2 minutes, just until fragrant. Pour in the heavy cream and bring it to a gentle simmer. Stir in the Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring often, until the sauce becomes smooth and slightly thickened.
Lay the tortillas flat. Spoon a little Alfredo sauce onto the center of each tortilla. Add chopped lobster and a sprinkle of mozzarella cheese. Roll each tortilla tightly and place it seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.
Pour the remaining Alfredo sauce over the roll-ups. Sprinkle the rest of the mozzarella cheese on top. Bake for 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and lightly golden. Let the dish rest for 5 minutes, then garnish with parsley and serve warm.
Add sautéed spinach, mushrooms, or bell peppers for extra color and texture. For a spicy version, mix a pinch of red pepper flakes into the Alfredo sauce. You can also combine lobster with shrimp for a seafood mix. For a fresher flavor, add chopped basil or thyme to the sauce before baking.
Storage/Reheating
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 325°F until warmed through, or microwave individual portions in short intervals. Add a small splash of cream before reheating if the sauce seems too thick.
