🧄 Broiled Lobster Tails in Creamy Garlic Butter Sauce

Serves: 2–4
Prep time: 10 mins
Cook time: 15 mins

Ingredients:

For the lobster:

• 2–4 lobster tails (4–6 oz each)

• Salt and pepper, to taste

• Paprika or smoked paprika (optional, for color)

• 2 tbsp melted butter

• Lemon wedges (for serving)

For the creamy garlic butter sauce:

🔥 Instructions:

1. Prep the Lobster Tails:

Using kitchen shears, cut down the center of the top shell lengthwise. Gently pull the meat out and lay it over the shell (but keep it attached at the base). This helps it cook evenly and look beautiful.

Brush with melted butter, season with salt, pepper, and a little paprika.

2. Broil:

Preheat your oven’s broiler (high). Place the lobster tails on a baking sheet lined with foil. Broil for 7–10 minutes (depending on size), until the meat is opaque and lightly browned on top. Keep a close eye so they don’t overcook.

3. Make the Creamy Garlic Butter Sauce:

While the lobster is broiling, melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, until fragrant (don’t burn it!). Stir in heavy cream, Parmesan, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 2–3 minutes until slightly thickened.

4. Plate and Serve:

Drizzle the warm garlic butter sauce over the broiled lobster tails. Garnish with parsley and serve with lemon wedges.
