Description
Succulent lobster tails broiled to perfection and smothered in a luscious creamy garlic butter sauce. Elegant, rich, and perfect for special occasions.
Ingredients
-
4 lobster tails, thawed if frozen
-
1/2 cup unsalted butter
-
3 cloves garlic, minced
-
1/2 cup heavy cream
-
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
-
Salt and pepper, to taste
-
Fresh parsley, for garnish
Instructions
-
Preheat the broiler and position the oven rack about 5–6 inches below the heat source.
-
Butterfly the lobster tails by cutting the top of the shell lengthwise and gently pulling the meat upward to rest on the shell.
-
In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the garlic and sauté for 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
-
Stir in the heavy cream and lemon juice, then simmer for 2–3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly. Season with salt and pepper.
-
Place the lobster tails on a baking sheet and brush generously with the sauce. Broil for 8–10 minutes, basting once midway through, until meat is opaque.
-
Serve immediately with extra sauce drizzled on top and garnish with fresh parsley.
Notes
Best enjoyed fresh. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days and reheat gently in a skillet with butter. Pairs beautifully with roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a crisp white wine.
