Ingredients you need
Here’s how you make this recipe
STEP 1: I will admit right here and now that I am not capable of cooking a lobster myself, so if you are in my camp you can do what I do, which is to ask your friendly neighborhood seafood counter person at the supermarket to steam it for you.
I go to the seafood counter first, ask for my steamed lobster and then go about the rest of my shopping, since the steaming usually takes about 10 minutes or so.
STEP 2 Then when we get home, the Southern husband grabs the kitchen shears and gets to work.
STEP 3: Once your lobster meat is out of the shell, all that’s left to do is gently scramble some eggs, fold in the lobster, ladle it out into warm bowls and sprinkle on some salt and pepper and chopped chives.
Recipe FAQs

Your eggs will have a richer, more substantial texture if you use cream. I like the lighter texture of scrambled eggs made with milk, but you be you, scrambled egg-wise!
