Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 4 fresh lobster tails
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 3 garlic cloves, finely minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prep the Lobster Tails: Using kitchen shears, carefully cut down the top shell of each lobster tail to expose the meat. Gently lift the meat out and rest it above the shell to ensure even cooking.
  2. Sear the Lobster Tails: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and melt a generous amount of unsalted butter. Add the lobster tails, meat side down, searing until golden brown and just cooked through, about 3-4 minutes per side.
  3. Prepare the Garlic Cream Sauce: In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and add finely minced garlic to the remaining butter. Sauté until fragrant but not browned, then pour in heavy cream. Stir and let simmer until slightly thickened.
  4. Finish the Sauce: Add fresh lemon juice and season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir well to combine and spoon the sauce generously over the seared lobster tails.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the plated lobster tails, add a wedge of lemon on the side, and enjoy immediately for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Use fresh lobster or properly thawed frozen lobster tails for best flavor and texture.
  • Avoid overcooking lobster to keep it tender with a slightly translucent center.
  • Don’t skimp on butter; it adds richness to both lobster and sauce.
  • Add garlic at the right moment and sauté only until fragrant to prevent burning.
  • Let the cooked lobster rest briefly to retain juices and moisture.
