Can I use store-bought sauces for lobster?

While homemade sauces often taste better, there are some high-quality store-bought sauces that can work well, like garlic butter or lemon butter sauces. However, making your own sauce allows you to control the flavor and ensure it pairs perfectly with your lobster.

What is drawn butter and how is it made?

Drawn butter, also known as clarified butter, is butter that has been heated to separate the milk solids from the butterfat. You can make it by gently heating unsalted butter, skimming off the milk solids, and using the liquid butterfat for dipping lobster.

Can I make a low-calorie or keto-friendly sauce for lobster?

Yes! For a low-calorie option, you can make a lemon vinaigrette or a simple lemon butter sauce. If you’re on a keto diet, a butter-based sauce like garlic herb butter works perfectly as it’s rich in fats and low in carbs.
