    Do you often find yourself wondering what to serve with lobster? Should you keep it simple with just a couple of sides or should you also include an additional protein to make it an impressive dinner that's both delicious and filling?

    Lobster has the characteristics of being both decadent and delicate in flavor. With that said, it's important to serve lobster with sides and and other protein that are complimentary rather than overpowering.

    Last but not least, do not forget about the garlic butter that's used as a dipping sauce for your lobster.

    You can simply add butter to a sauce pan and add whole peeled garlic cloves as the butter melts the garlic flavor gets infused into the butter then feel free to remove the garlic cloves. You can also feel free to add minced garlic to the butter if you go this route you do not have to remove the minced garlic from the butter.
