\u2022 2 tablespoons butter
\u2022 2 cloves garlic (minced)
\u2022 1 tablespoon lemon juice
\u2022 Salt + cracked black pepper
\u2022 Paprika (just a pinch for color)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2022 3 cloves garlic (minced)
\u2022 1 cup heavy cream
\u2022 1\/4 cup grated Parmesan
\u2022 1 tablespoon lemon juice
\u2022 1\/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
\u2022 1\/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
\u2022 Salt + pepper to taste
\u2022 Fresh parsley for garnish<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n🔥 Step-by-step instructions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Cut the top shell lengthwise with kitchen scissors. Gently pull the meat up and rest it on top of the shell (this is the classic \u201cbutterfly\u201d style). Pat dry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Season the meat with salt, pepper, and a little paprika. Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and cook 30 seconds. Place lobster tails meat-side down for 2 minutes to get a light sear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Flip the lobster tails, squeeze a little lemon juice over, cover, and let them cook for 4\u20136 minutes (depending on size). They\u2019ll turn opaque and no longer translucent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Remove the tails to a plate. In the same pan, add the butter and garlic for sauce. Saut\u00e9 until fragrant. Pour in heavy cream and stir. Add Parmesan, lemon juice, and seasonings. Let it simmer 2\u20133 minutes until thick and creamy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Place lobster back into the sauce and spoon that goodness over the meat to coat fully. Simmer 1\u20132 minutes to meld flavors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sprinkle parsley and more Parmesan if that\u2019s your love language.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
