Creamy Garlic Butter Lobster Tails
Ingredients:
4 lobster tails
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon fresh parsley, chopped
Salt and pepper to taste
Lemon wedges (for serving)
Directions:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Using kitchen shears, carefully cut down the top shell of each lobster tail, stopping just before the tail fin. Gently pull the lobster meat out of the shell and rest it on top, keeping it attached at the base.
In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter and minced garlic. Brush the garlic butter over the lobster meat, reserving a little for later.
Place the lobster tails on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the lobster meat is opaque and cooked through.
While the lobster tails are baking, prepare the creamy garlic butter sauce. In a small saucepan, heat the remaining garlic butter over medium heat. Add the heavy cream and Parmesan cheese, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the fresh lemon juice and season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste.
Once the lobster tails are done baking, drizzle the creamy garlic butter sauce over the top and garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
Serve the lobster tails hot with lemon wedges on the side.
