Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 lobster tails, shells removed and meat cleaned
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

For the Creamy Garlic Butter Sauce:

  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • ½ teaspoon lemon juice
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Lobster Tails:

    • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
    • Pat the lobster tails dry and season with paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
    • Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the lobster tails for 2 minutes on each side. Remove from heat.

  2. Make the Sauce:

    • In the same skillet, melt the butter and sauté the minced garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute.
    • Stir in the heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.

  3. Bake the Lobster Tails:

    • Spoon some of the creamy garlic butter sauce over the lobster tails and transfer the skillet to the preheated oven.
    • Bake for 5-7 minutes, or until the lobster tails are cooked through and tender.

  4. Serve:

    • Drizzle the remaining sauce over the lobster tails and garnish with fresh parsley.
    • Serve warm with your favorite sides, such as steamed vegetables or rice.

Notes

  • Make sure not to overcook the lobster tails, as they can become tough.
  • You can use a splash of white wine or seafood broth in the sauce for added depth of flavor.
  • For a richer sauce, add extra Parmesan cheese or a little more butter.
