Paula Deen’s Lobster and Butter Shooters
Posted on May 4th 2011 by Jillian Madison

It’s not enough for Paula Deen to simply dunk her lobster in a butter sauce prior to eating it. Oh no. Paula Deen likes to cook her lobster in butter, shred it, pour melted butter over it, and DRINK IT. We took the liberty of putting a simple “how-to” manual together in case anyone was interested in trying Paula’s method:

Don’t forget about step 5, dialing 9-1-1.

  1. Love it! She definitely knows how to enjoy good food though! Thank God she Finally (I think) stopped using Canned soup in Every recipe she makes.

  2. Erica says:

    It looks like she has a comb over..

  3. Gypsy says:

    *resisting urge to gag*…

  4. M says:

    Ugh! That is soo gross!!

  5. oh_come_on says:

    Dialing 9-1-1, LMAO!

  6. James says:

    Well, I guess that’s ONE way of playing the drinking game…

  7. MsFoodie says:

    Saw this recently. GAG. I would seriously yak if I ever had to drink butter.

  8. rita says:

    Hah, we watched Paula during lunch today at work and were so grossed out by this that we switched over to the Cooking channel. Nast-eeee.

  9. GreenJeans says:

    Is this for real? PUKE!

  10. Jill (not Jillian) says:

    Ugh! That small pitcher of butter is grossing me out.

  11. Goober says:

    I hope she at least used *good* butter.

  12. Ray says:

    Please tell me this is not serious. Damn, I’d hate to see what her arteries look like. Also, how can she not get sick (meaning immediately so) from this? I had lobster with butter sauce once, long ago, and I became nauseous after eating just a bit of it. Too rich. Could be it was just that my system would not tolerate it, but even so….

  13. Chris says:

    I am surprised she didn`t dip the shot glass in batter and deep fry it. I think Pauler causes obesity in children through osmosis!

  14. Did you see how slick with greasy butter her hand was…it’s sick making!!!

  15. CEQ says:

    Well, I failed step #4 after seeing that…..

  16. Michael says:

    For those of us that missed it, here it is on YouTube. I’m scarred for life.

  17. Goober says:

    Shent FTW.

  18. Diane says:

    Gross. Does she have her own portable defribulator? How is she still alive with the way she eats?!

  19. Kira says:

    holy shit! that’s gross. and honestly I was thinking the most awful thing today – seeing her in her gauze and tent outfit in the last food network star post, i’m wondering how she’ll die and what people will say if it’s obviously related to the way she eats. :(

  20. Chris says:

    I also noticed the tribbles have made another appearance. Was there a clearance sale on Star Trek memorabilia and FN cleaned up?

  21. Di says:

    Disgusting. And not even funny.
    It’s a miracle her sons are not morbidly obese.
    What is she thinking? I mean, I love butter, but …
    She must get regular checks from the national butter council.

  22. Bonzy22 says:

    holy chit! Is that “shot” pic for real? omgahhh *coughs*

  23. missionpants says:

    She even says: “Don’t put too much butter, you don’t want (your guest’s) to be sick….”

    Yich!!!

  24. Scruffy says:

    I encourage her to keep that shit up. The sooner she clogs up her arteries to a crawl the sooner she’s driving the residents of Down Home Heaven nuts.

  25. Jillian says:

    I loved how in that episode she made Bouillabaisee and couldn’t believe the recipe called for no better…so she decided to add some just for kicks anyway. G-ross. She did use a little too much butter in that episode.

    But in all honesty, I think butter poached lobster shooters would be delicious. It’s a luxurious item and I think it’s totally fine for a fancy cocktail party. People should be able to control themselves and treat themselves to one (or two).

  26. dkmissy says:

    Why did she even bother adding lobster to her butter?

  27. Bravo says:

    I almost feel bad for the first time on FNH… I think that if I wanted to die of coronary artery disease, lobster and melted butter shooters might not be the worst way to go! King Crab Leg and butter shooters, clam and butter shooters… mmm… it’s one of those things I’d LIKE, but won’t be putting on the home menu anytime soon!

  28. Michelle says:

    As I was reading this post, a commercial for Plavix came on.. It’s like the tv read my mind!

  29. VirgoPixie says:

    When I saw this I thought, “Jillian has to make a post of this.” To my delight you did! To my horror, the ratings were from people who have no idea of the fat it contains. http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/paulas-home-cooking/butter-poached-lobster-shooters-recipe/index.html

  30. FuryOfFirestorm says:

    To make things worse, Paula took the left over butter home so she and her husband could re-enact the “butter scene” from “Last Tango in Paris”! *BARF*

  31. Andrew says:

    This sounds like something they’d do on SNL to mock her, but to see her actually do it in a serious manner is disturbing to say the least.

  32. Gypsy says:

    She had to wear a butter-colored shirt, too.

  33. stoup says:

    SICK! Pauler and Man vs. Food must have their cardiologists in a tizzie! How can (their) bodies handle what they eat??

  34. Sarah says:

    Beyond gross!

  35. jvwalt says:

    Paula Deen, adapted for vegetarians: simply hold the lobster!

  36. Roger says:

    Michael sez, “Mumble, mumble murrr mah, SWEET RAPTOR JESUS DID SHE JUST DO A SHOT OF DRAWN BUTTER, murbble murrr??!!”

  37. I doubt she would vomit, she LUV’S Butter more than those big diamond rings, Husband and Maybe her two boys. She made Lobster Salad once with $60 of fresh lobster and then covered it with a can of cream of mushroom soup…or Made Homemade Fudge with Velveeta Cheese? UGH!!

  38. Genevieve says:

    Here in France, we certainly enjoy lobster and butter (especially Normandy butter) but we would never commit such sacrilege. This is just pure gluttony at it’s best.

    Is she still a “national treasure ” ?

    • Chris says:

      When the hell was Pauler ever considered a “National Treasure”? A “National Embarassment” or a the answer to the question “Why are 75% of Americans obese?” maybe, but a “National Treasure”? Frémir la pensée!

      • SaraCVT says:

        I suspect she never was a “National Treasure” and Miss Fake France is merely using this as another way to get our goats. What I don’t understand is, if Genevieve disdains all things American so very much, why doesn’t she move away from Ohio?

      • Panna Cotta says:

        I’m going to start beginning all my comments with “here in California”.

  39. chicken feets says:

    I wonder if she is on high blood pressure and cholesterol medications. And drinking butter is just stupid shit she does for a shock factor. I used to like her, but this extreme BS is for the birds. I just want to smack those nice, shiny veneers right down her fake ass throat. Yawh :P

  40. 86thebling says:

    When she has a massive coronary from blocked and bulging arteries, I defy anyone in her family to tell the press that it “came as a shock”, with straight faces!!!

  41. michelle says:

    omg. i just lost my appetite. seriously?? has she heard of heart disease?

  42. Gullwing says:

    I knew it would come to this. She loves butter, she probably bathes in it, has it crammed into every wrinkle and orifice just to get through the day without going through withdrawal- but spare me the horrors! Spare us all- I have had nightmares ever since I saw this show. I dream of being held down and having butter poured down my throat until I die. Paula, how could you!??? Do it in private! Not like this. NO!!!!

    • Audrey says:

      I bet she zerg rushes the dairy aisle at the local store, screaming about how the butter is HERS, Y’ALL, trying to swat people away from it with a Smithfield ham for good measure.

      ……..-brb laughing forever at that mental image-

  43. d.a. says:

    I watched this episode and it was recipes from her surprise birthday party. The party was catered by some lady in her town and she was showing those recipes on this episode.

    My point is, that wasn’t her recipe and she said so at the beginning of the episode. She showed pictures from the party and made the different dishes that the caterer had made.

  44. Panna Cotta says:

    Oh GOD no.

  45. Steph says:

    If anyone saw the Tonight Show last night, Ross Matthews mentioned this on his segment. Looked just as ridiculous as it did on the actual show.

  46. Wendy says:

    Disgusting!

  47. Charlie says:

    I watched her butter a deep fried turkey when it came out of the fryer…made my stomach leap…

  48. Mystrich says:

    You missed the BEST part of this episode:

    “Don’t put too much butter y’all, or y’all will make yourselves sick”

    Because boiling it in 4 cups of butter and then having it in a butter shot isn’t too much yet.

  49. Audra says:

    Ok, well, yes. Maybe it is kind of nasty. But, I would do that lobster butter shot, and something tells me, I would enjoy it. Screw it, I would LOVE it so hard.

  50. Tim says:

    You know, this is the kind of thing that confirms for me that the whole “unhealthy food tastes better than healthy food” notion our society clings to is all a state of mind. I find the idea of drinking pure melted butter to be absolutely revolting, but my overweight mother reacted to this with a whimsical grin. Yet, she turns her nose to the delightfully crispy steamed vegetables that I can’t get enough of. If only we could recondition our collective cultural mindset toward food…

    • Kris says:

      I’m overweight (but successfully working on it) but just watching that has me trying seriously hard to not gag. I would say only a small portion of people would find that appealing. For one thing, I think any food “shot” is gross. Add liquid fat to that, and I’m really glad I hadn’t eaten before I watched this. I thought it was actually a joke until I read the comments. Not all fatties hate vegetables or think mainlining melted butter and seafood is an awesome idea.

  51. [...] possibly the most epic butter commercial ever beyond walking butter commercial Paula Deen herself, from the Danish company [...]

  52. J-Man says:

    As soon as Sandy sees this, expect a Butter-Tini in her next episode.

  53. Kimbo says:

    Well, I just had to rechew my dinner

  54. So There says:

    She’s just gross y’all.

  55. Derek says:

    LOL…I would totally try making this for the hell of it. Granted, the lobsters were poached in 3.5 lbs of melted butter, but the shots themselves didn’t contain all that much.

  56. KristenS says:

    It looks really effing delicious to me….when I eat crab or lobster, I’ll pull a piece and let it steep in melted butter while I’m working on getting the next piece out of the shell. And I’ll just rotate em in-and-out of butter as I go. That reminds me – it’s crab season. Gotta get out to the Eastern Shore.

    But I can see how some people would think it’s gross.

  57. dave says:

    That bitch must be pop Lipitor like tic tacs.

  58. Jonesy says:

    I soooo hate that woman. She looks like she eats babies. Charles Manson reads her cookbooks for porn.

  59. Cookingschool101 says:

    4 pounds of butter….really? This woman is kind of crazy. I have heard of oyster shooters…atleast try have alcohol in them!!
