It’s surprisingly easy to make at home in under 30 minutes. Serve it with pasta or your favorite veggies to make it a full, satisfying meal.
Step 1:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Start by carefully splitting the lobster tails in half lengthwise using a sharp kitchen knife. This will allow the butter and garlic to penetrate the meat, enhancing the flavor. Pat the lobster tails dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
Step 2:
In a large oven-safe skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Place the lobster tails in the skillet, cut-side down. Sear them for about 2-3 minutes until the lobster shells turn a vibrant red, which signals that they’re beginning to cook through. The quick sear will also help to seal in the juices, ensuring the lobster remains tender.
Step 4:
While the lobster tails bake, prepare the garlic butter sauce. In a separate pan, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned, as overcooked garlic can become bitter.
Step 5:
Pour in the heavy cream and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese gradually, allowing it to melt and thicken the sauce. Continue stirring until the sauce has a smooth, velvety texture. Remove the sauce from heat and stir in the lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
