Creamy Garlic Butter Lobster Tails 🦞🧄
Ingredients:
4 lobster tails
4 tbsp butter
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp lemon juice
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions:
Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Carefully split the lobster tails in half lengthwise.
Cook the lobster: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Place the lobster tails cut-side down and cook for 2-3 minutes until the shells turn red.
Flip and bake: Flip the lobster tails, add 2 tbsp butter, and baste with the melted butter. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 8-10 minutes.
Make the garlic butter sauce: In a separate pan, melt the remaining butter and sauté the garlic until fragrant.
Create the sauce: Pour in the heavy cream, bring it to a simmer, and stir in the Parmesan cheese until the sauce thickens.
Assemble and serve: Drizzle the garlic butter sauce over the lobster tails and finish with a squeeze of lemon juice. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve.
Notes:
Serve over pasta or with a side of steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
Adjust the amount of garlic based on your preference.
