In celebration of special moments, such as the six-month anniversary our chef mentions, why not indulge in a sumptuous Garlic Butter Lobster al Guajillo? The richness of the butter harmonizes with the spicy kick of guajillo chili, and the succulence of the lobster provides a luxurious centerpiece for your meal. Here is a recipe inspired by the dialogue from the chef at EncadenaTV, where each bite promises to be a tribute to both love and fine dining.

Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 30 minutes
Servings: 2
Instructions:
1. Start by preparing the lobster. If it's already dead, you must clean it and carefully remove the meat from the shell, then chop the meat and set it back into the shell. If it's live, you'll need to humanely dispatch and clean it before proceeding.
2. Heat a frying pan over medium heat. Add olive oil and butter to the pan to prevent the butter from burning.
3. As the butter melts, gently place the lobster with its shell into the pan. Keep moving the lobster occasionally to ensure it cooks evenly.
4. After a few minutes, add the chopped onion around the lobster in the pan. Cook until the onion becomes translucent.
5. Now distribute the minced garlic over the lobster, taking care not to overwhelm any one spot with garlic. Continue to cook.
6. Sprinkle the ground guajillo chili over the lobster and the onions for a bit of heat and vibrant color.
7. Squeeze the fresh lemon juice over the lobster to enhance the flavors and bring a touch of acidity.
8. Season the lobster with salt and black pepper to your taste. Remember, the true art of seasoning should be done carefully.
9. Sauté everything together until the lobster is fully cooked, which generally takes about 8-10 minutes, depending on the size.
10. Serve the lobster using the shell as a decorative and flavorful container.
Cooking Tips:
- Lobster cooks quickly and can become tough if overdone, so watch the time and heat.
- Adjust the chili according to your preference for heat, and add more lemon juice if you like your dish tangier.
- Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
