Indulge in this Creamy Garlic Butter Lobster Tails recipe A delightful blend of flavors that elevates any dinner Perfect for special occasions
Ingredients
Scale
2 lobster tails (fresh or frozen)
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon parsley, chopped (fresh or dried)
Salt and pepper, to taste
Optional: red pepper flakes for a kick
Instructions
Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures your lobster tails cook evenly and are perfectly tender.
Using kitchen scissors, carefully cut down the top of the lobster shells, stopping just before the tail. Gently pull the meat out and lay it on top of the shell, allowing for an impressive presentation.
In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes or until fragrant. Stir in lemon juice, parsley, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
Place the prepared lobster tails in a baking dish and pour the garlic butter sauce over them, ensuring they are well-coated. If you enjoy some heat, sprinkle a little red pepper flakes on top.
Transfer the lobster tails to the preheated oven. Bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until the meat is opaque and tender. Keep an eye on them to avoid overcooking.
Once cooked, remove the lobster tails from the oven. Serve immediately with extra garlic butter on the side for dipping. Garnish with additional parsley for that pop of color!
