Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Carefully cut the lobster tails in half lengthwise using kitchen shears. For added presentation, gently pull the lobster meat up slightly so it sits on top of the shell.
Sauté the Garlic
- In a skillet over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Add the minced garlic, sautéing for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Be careful not to brown the garlic.
Make the Creamy Sauce
- Pour in the heavy cream and lemon juice into the skillet, stirring constantly. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly. Season with salt, pepper, and paprika if desired.
Coat the Lobster
- Place the lobster tails in a baking dish and brush them generously with the creamy garlic sauce. Reserve some sauce for serving.
Bake
- Bake the lobster tails in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the meat is opaque and cooked through.
Serve
- Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Drizzle the remaining sauce over the lobster tails and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes.
