Creamy Garlic Butter Lobster (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Seafood

01 - 4 lobster tails, fresh or thawed if frozen

→ Garlic Butter Sauce

02 - 1/4 cup unsalted butter

03 - 4 cloves garlic, minced

04 - 1/2 cup heavy cream

05 - 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

06 - 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

→ Seasonings & Garnish

07 - 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped

08 - Salt and black pepper to taste

09 - Lemon wedges for serving

# Instructions:

01 - Turn on the broiler. Cut down the middle of each lobster shell with kitchen shears. Lift the meat up and lay it on top of the shell. Season with salt and pepper.

02 - Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Cook garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add cream, lemon juice, and gradually stir in Parmesan until sauce thickens.

03 - Put lobster tails on a baking sheet and brush with sauce. Broil 8-10 minutes until meat is opaque, basting halfway through with more sauce.

04 - Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve hot with lemon wedges on the side.

# Notes:

01 - Watch closely while broiling to prevent overcooking - lobster should be firm but tender

02 - Use fresh garlic and real Parmesan for the best flavor

03 - Don't skip basting - it keeps the lobster moist and flavorful
