Creamy Garlic Butter Lobster Tails

Ingredients:

4 lobster tails

3 tbsp unsalted butter

4 garlic cloves, minced

1 cup heavy cream

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 tsp lemon juice

1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

Salt and pepper to taste

Let’s Make It Happen:

Prep the Lobster Tails:

Cut the lobster shells down the middle, pull the meat up, and rest it on top of the shell. Season with salt and pepper.

Butter-Baste the Lobster:

Melt 2 tbsp butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the lobster tails, meat side down, and sear for 2-3 minutes until slightly golden. Flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the meat is opaque. Remove and set aside.

Make the Creamy Sauce:

In the same skillet, melt the remaining butter. Sauté the garlic until fragrant. Add heavy cream, Parmesan, and lemon juice. Stir until the sauce thickens, about 3-4 minutes.

Combine Lobster and Sauce:

Return the lobster tails to the skillet, spooning the sauce over them. Cook for 2 more minutes to heat through.

Serve:

Plate the lobster tails with extra sauce and sprinkle with parsley.

Tips for Extra Magic:

Pair with crusty bread or mashed potatoes to soak up the sauce.
