Note

This recipe is versatile and can be made with shrimp, clams, or a mix of seafood.

If using shrimp or clams instead of lobster, substitute the liquid base with 2 cups clam juice and 2 cups chicken broth instead of 4 cups chicken broth.

Always add delicate seafood like shrimp or clams during the last 5 minutes of cooking to prevent overcooking.
