“Indulge in melt-in-your-mouth lobster bites infused with a rich, garlicky butter sauce—perfect for an elegant dinner or appetizer!”

Ingredients:

For the Lobster:

1½ to 2 lbs lobster tail meat, cut into bite-sized chunks

2 tbsp olive oil or unsalted butter

Salt and black pepper, to taste

For the Garlic Butter Sauce:

4 tbsp unsalted butter

4 garlic cloves, minced

1 tbsp fresh lemon juice

1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

1 tsp fresh thyme leaves

1 tbsp white wine (optional, or substitute with broth)

A pinch of red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)

Instructions:

Prepare the Lobster:

If using frozen lobster, thaw completely before cooking.

Carefully remove the meat from the shells and cut it into bite-sized chunks.

Cook the Lobster:

Heat olive oil or butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Add the lobster chunks and sauté for 2–3 minutes until opaque.

Lightly season with salt and pepper. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Create the Garlic Butter Sauce:

In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and melt the butter.

Add minced garlic and sauté for 1–2 minutes until fragrant (avoid browning).

Stir in the white wine (if using) and let it reduce for 2 minutes.

Add lemon juice, thyme, and a pinch of red pepper flakes. Simmer gently for 1 minute.

Combine:

Return the lobster chunks to the skillet and gently toss to coat in the sauce.

Simmer for another 1–2 minutes to marry the flavors. Adjust seasoning with more salt or pepper, if needed.

Finish and Serve:

Transfer the lobster bites to a serving platter.

Spoon the garlic butter sauce generously over the lobster.

Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges for an extra citrusy kick.
