Tips for the Best Lobster Ravioli in Garlic Butter Sauce

Use high-quality ravioli – Fresh or store-bought gourmet lobster ravioli works best.

Don’t overcook the ravioli – It only takes 3-4 minutes to cook; overcooking makes it mushy.

Balance the flavors – The lemon juice adds brightness and prevents the sauce from feeling too heavy.

Make it spicy – Increase red pepper flakes or add a dash of Cajun seasoning.

Storage – Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Reheat gently on low heat.
