Ingredients

Scale
  1. For the Lobster Tails:
    • 4 lobster tails, shells removed and meat cleaned
    • 2 tablespoons olive oil
    • 1 teaspoon paprika
    • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
    • 1/4 teaspoon salt
    • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  2. For the Creamy Garlic Butter Sauce:
    1. 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
    2. 3 garlic cloves, minced
    3. 1/2 cup heavy cream
    4. 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
    5. 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
    6. 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
    7. 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 slightly thickened.

  3. Bake the Lobster Tails:
    Spoon some of the 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 more sauce over the lobster tails and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve warm with your favorite sides.

Notes

  • Make sure the lobster tails are fully thawed if previously frozen before preparing them.
  • You can serve the lobster tails with roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a simple green salad.
  • For added flavor, try using a splash of white wine in the sauce.
  • If you prefer a spicier version, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce.
