Ingredients:
2 lobster tails
4 tbsp unsalted butter
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tbsp lemon juice
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Optional: lemon wedges for serving
Instructions:
Prepare the Lobster Tails:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Using kitchen shears, cut the top of the lobster shells lengthwise to expose the meat. Gently pull the meat out and lay it on top of the shell. This is called “deveining.”
Make the Garlic Butter Sauce:
In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Stir in the heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, and lemon juice. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens slightly. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Bake the Lobster:
Place the lobster tails on a baking sheet. Pour the creamy garlic butter sauce over the lobster meat, making sure to coat it well.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the lobster meat is opaque and cooked through.
Serve:
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side. Enjoy your melt-in-your-mouth creamy garlic butter lobster tails!
This dish is perfect for special occasions or a fancy dinner at home. Enjoy!
