Pineapple lobster sauce

  • add in pineapple, orange juice and chicken stock and allow to reduce (you may want to take out the lobster if it looks fully cooked)
  • add half of chopped scallions and butter rolled into flour (beurre manie) to thicken the sauce
  • add lobster back to pan (if you removed it earlier) and bring back to temperature
