🦞 Creamy Garlic Butter Lobster Tails

👨‍🍳 Instructions:

1. Prep the lobster tails

  • Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
  • Using kitchen shears, cut down the top of each shell to expose the meat.
  • Gently lift the meat over the shell, keeping it attached at the base.

2. Season and bake

  • Melt 2 tbsp butter and mix with garlic, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and paprika.
  • Brush generously over lobster meat.
  • Place on a foil-lined baking sheet and bake for 12–15 minutes until opaque and firm.

3. Make the creamy garlic sauce

  • In a saucepan, melt remaining 2 tbsp butter.
  • Sauté garlic until fragrant (1–2 minutes).
  • Add cream and simmer gently.
  • Stir in Parmesan and lemon juice until smooth and thickened.

4. Serve

  • Spoon sauce over baked lobster tails.
  • Garnish with parsley and serve with lemon wedges.

🌟 Tips:

  • Use fresh lemon juice for brightness.
  • Try Gruyère instead of Parmesan for a deeper flavor.
  • Serve with roasted veggies, garlic mashed potatoes, or crusty bread.
