Creamy Garlic Butter Lobster Tails
Components
- Four tablespoons unsalted butter and two lobster tails
- four minced garlic cloves
- Half a cup of heavy cream
- 1/4 cup of Parmesan cheese, grated
- One tablespoon of lemon juice
- One tsp of paprika
- To taste, add salt and pepper.
- Chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)
- slices of lemon (for serving)
Guidelines
- Oven Prep: Set the oven’s temperature to 375°F, or 190°C.
- To prepare the lobster tails, cut the top shell down the middle to reveal the meat with kitchen shears. Carefully extract the meat and place it atop the shell. The tails should be put in a baking dish.
- To prepare the Garlic Butter Sauce, melt the butter in a skillet over a medium heat. When the garlic is aromatic, add the minced garlic and sauté it for one to two minutes.
- Cream and Cheese Addition: Blend in the heavy cream, lemon juice, paprika, Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper. Simmer for a further two to three minutes, or until the sauce is well cooked and beginning to thicken.
- Mix and Bake: Coat the lobster tails thoroughly with the creamy garlic butter sauce by pouring it over them.
- Bake: For 15 to 20 minutes, or until the lobster meat is opaque and well cooked, place the baking dish in the preheated oven.
- Garnish and Serve: Take out of the oven, top with chopped parsley, and present alongside wedges of lemon.
Advice
- Before baking, you can add extra flavour and texture by sprinkling some breadcrumbs on top.
- For a full dinner, serve with garlic bread or a side of asparagus.
