Lobster Creole image

This is a Spanish style Creole dish where the lobster tails may be substituted by shrimp or you can convert it into a seafood Creole by combining both lobster tail meat, shrimp & scallop. I recommend accompanying this dish with white steamed rice, fried green plantains and a salad.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my sauce turned out really bland.

The sauce is a bit too spicy for me, but I was able to tone it down by adding some cream.
