Butter-Poached Lobster Tails in Creamy Garlic Sauce
Ingredients:
4 lobster tails
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1 cup heavy cream
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 cup white wine (optional)
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
Prepare the lobster tails:
Using kitchen shears, cut through the top shell of each lobster tail lengthwise and gently pull the meat up to rest on top of the shell.
Butter-poach the lobster:
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the lobster tails and cook for 5-7 minutes, occasionally spooning butter over the meat, until the lobster is opaque and cooked through. Remove the tails and set aside.
Make the creamy garlic sauce:
In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant (about 1 minute). Deglaze the skillet with white wine (if using) and let it simmer for 2 minutes. Stir in the heavy cream and Parmesan cheese, cooking until the sauce thickens slightly. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Combine and garnish:
Return the lobster tails to the skillet and spoon the creamy sauce over them. Simmer for 1-2 minutes to warm through. Garnish with fresh parsley.
Serve:
Transfer the lobster tails to a serving dish, drizzle with sauce, and serve with lemon wedges and crusty bread or rice for a complete meal.
This indulgent butter-poached lobster dish with creamy garlic sauce is the epitome of elegance. Perfect for date nights or special occasions!
