Notes
To make your Lobster Ravioli with Zesty Lemon Butter Sauce truly exceptional, here are some tips and tricks:
Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh lobster ravioli and high-quality butter can make a significant difference in the taste.
Garlic Infusion: Instead of just sautéing the garlic, try infusing the butter with garlic by simmering it on low heat for a longer time. This will give a deeper garlic flavor.
Lemon Zest: Add a bit of lemon zest to the sauce for an extra burst of citrus flavor.
