Sunday was our first Valentine’s Day together as a married couple. Honestly, I nearly forgot it was coming. We have been so busy with work and getting settled into the new house, it seemed to sneak up on us. We don’t normally put a lot of stock into Valentine’s Day, but it crossed my mind that maybe we should have planned something nice.
But, I simply grabbed a few extra special ingredients at the store and we spent Sunday normally. We went to the gym, cooked a few recipes, and watched a movie. Still, something was extra special that day. Maybe it was the magic of Valentine’s Day. Or, maybe it was the magic of this recipe. We hope you enjoy it as much as we did!

4 Tbsp ghee or grass-fed butter
1 shallot, minced
2 garlic cloves, pressed

Looks delicious, but what is lobster juice??

Hi Vanessa,
Lobster Juice is similar to broth made from lobsters. You can make lobster broth from leftover lobster shells if you have them; but if you don’t have access to them or need to save time, you can buy it at some grocery stores or online.
I found it at our local Wegmans. The brand we bought is also available on Amazon; the link is in the ingredients list, but I’m including it here for you, too:
