Let me tell you about the breakfast recipe that literally made my mother-in-law speechless – and trust me, that’s not an easy feat! This Luxurious Lobster and Shrimp Benedict is about to become your new weekend obsession.
Ladies (and gents), prepare to elevate your breakfast game to first-class status. This isn’t your basic eggs benny – we’re taking it to the seafood stratosphere!
What you’ll need (because we’re fancy today):
– 2 fresh lobster tails
– 8 large shrimp, peeled and deveined
– 4 English muffins
– 4 large eggs
– Fresh chives for garnish
– Lemon wedges
For the sauce (yes, we’re making it from scratch because we’re not basic):
– 3 egg yolks
– 1 tablespoon water
– 1 tablespoon lemon juice
– 1/2 cup melted butter
– Pinch of cayenne
– Salt and white pepper
Now honey, let me walk you through this masterpiece:
1. First things first – poach those lobster tails in simmering water for about 5-6 minutes until they’re just cooked through. Remove, let cool slightly, then slice them beautifully.
1. Season those shrimp with salt and pepper, then quickly sauté them until they’re pink and perfect – about 2 minutes per side. Set aside and try not to snack on them (I see you! 😉).

1. For the hollandaise (don’t be scared, I’ll hold your hand through this): Whisk those egg yolks with water and lemon juice in a heatproof bowl. Place it over a pot of barely simmering water (double boiler style) and whisk continuously until it thickens. Slowly drizzle in that melted butter while whisking like your life depends on it. Season with cayenne, salt, and pepper.
1. Toast those English muffins until they’re golden brown. Meanwhile, poach your eggs in simmering water with a splash of vinegar – about 3 minutes for perfect runny yolks.
1. Now for the grand assembly: Stack your toasted muffins with lobster meat, shrimp, poached egg, and generously drizzle with that liquid gold hollandaise. Sprinkle with chives and serve with lemon wedges.
