There are meals that feel fancy… and then there are meals that taste like you ordered them at a restaurant but made them in your own kitchen.

This is that meal.

This creamy garlic lobster ravioli skillet is rich, buttery, and layered with flavor from onions, garlic, white wine, and a touch of lemon to bring everything together. It’s one of those dishes that feels like a splurge — but it’s surprisingly simple to pull off.

And when you pair it with roasted broccoli and crispy, cheesy garlic bread?

You’ve got a full-on RGJ dinner moment.

Notes from the Kitchen:

• Mince extra garlic if you're using to pair with roasted broccoli, olive oil and seasoning. As well as, air fryer cheesy garlic bread.

• The original recipe calls for shallot, I did not have one, and used onion to substitute

• Don’t overcook the lobster — it should be tender, not rubbery. As soon as it turns opaque and firm, pull it.
