Lobster Sauce

Lobster sauce is a rich and savory sauce that adds a depth of flavor to any seafood dish. The lobster meat gives it a sweet and briny taste, while the ginger and garlic add depth and complexity. The soy sauce helps to balance out the flavors and give it a salty finish. This sauce is perfect for seafood dishes, such as lobster or shrimp. It is easy to make and can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week.
