Cajun Lobster Mushroom Alfredo
If you love creamy pasta with mad flavor, this recipe is for you. I can only get Lobster Mushrooms during this time of year in San Diego, but I get so excited when I do. I had this recipe in mind for a while and could not wait to try it. Lobster mushrooms have this amazing texture that stays pretty firm when cooking. They have so much flavor and have a very fishy-like smell when uncooked. The Cajun lobster sauce took this to the next level. If you can not get your hands on Lobster Mushrooms, try it with Chanterelle mushrooms, Coral mushrooms, or Shrimp of the Woods. Remember to always buy your mushrooms from a reputable supplier or experienced foragers.
