Creamy Garlic Butter Lobster Tails

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your broiler to high. Pat the lobster tails dry with paper towels and place them cut-side up on a baking sheet.

Step 2: In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to brown it.

Step 3: Pour in the white wine and lemon juice, stirring well. Let simmer for 2 minutes to reduce slightly.

Step 4: Reduce heat to low and stir in the heavy cream. Season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes if desired. Simmer for another 2 minutes.

Step 5: Remove from heat and stir in the Parmesan cheese until fully melted and combined.

Step 6: Spoon the creamy garlic butter sauce generously over each lobster tail, making sure to coat the meat well.

Step 7: Broil for 5-7 minutes until the lobster meat is cooked through and the topping is golden brown and bubbling.

Step 8: Remove from the broiler and garnish with fresh chopped parsley. Serve immediately with the remaining sauce spooned over top.

Storage and Reheating Tips

Store any leftover lobster tails in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Keep the sauce separate if possible to maintain the best texture.

To reheat, place the lobster tails on a baking sheet and warm in a 350-degree F oven for about 8-10 minutes until heated through. You can drizzle with extra melted butter to keep the meat moist.

For best results, enjoy this dish fresh right after cooking. The creamy sauce and perfectly cooked lobster are at their peak immediately after broiling.
