Delve into a seafood delight with these Garlic Butter Lobster Tails! Perfect for impressing guests or treating yourself. 
Ingredients:
– 4 lobster tails, halved lengthwise
– 4 tbsp unsalted butter
– 3 cloves garlic, minced
– 2 tbsp olive oil
– 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
– 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (plus extra for garnish)
– Juice of 1/2 lemon
– Salt and black pepper, to taste
Directions:
1. Prepare the Lobster Tails: Start by cutting the lobster tails in half lengthwise and carefully remove any vein or grit you find. Pat the succulent lobster meat dry with a paper towel and season it lightly with salt and black pepper to enhance the flavors.
2. Sear the Lobster: Heat up the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once it’s hot, place the lobster tails in the skillet meat-side down and sear for about 2–3 minutes until they’re beautifully golden. Then, flip the tails over and cook for another 2–3 minutes on the shell side. Remove them from the skillet and set aside for a moment.
3. Make the Garlic Butter Sauce: In that same skillet, reduce the heat to low and add in the butter. Let it melt, then toss in the minced garlic and red pepper flakes if you’re feeling adventurous. Sauté everything for about a minute until it gets fragrant. Mix in that zesty lemon juice and the chopped parsley, letting it cook for another 30 seconds.
4. Combine and Serve: Now, return those gorgeous lobster tails to the skillet and generously spoon that luscious garlic butter sauce over them. Allow them to cook for an additional 1–2 minutes, basting the tails in the sauce until they’re fully cooked and the meat is opaque. Garnish with a sprinkle of extra parsley and serve warm.
Enjoy these gourmet Garlic Butter Lobster Tails alongside a fresh salad or some crusty bread to soak up every drop of that amazing sauce!
