Instructions
Creating Garlic Butter Poached Lobster Tails is simple if you follow these steps:
1. Prepare the Lobster Tails: Using kitchen shears, carefully cut the top shell of each lobster tail lengthwise, stopping just before the tail fan. Gently pull the meat out, resting it on top of the shell.
2. Melt the Butter: In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat.
3. Add Garlic: Once the butter is melted, add the minced garlic, stirring occasionally for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Do not let it brown.
4. Season the Sauce: Stir in the lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to the garlic butter mixture.
5. Poach the Lobster: Carefully add the lobster tails to the saucepan, ensuring they are submerged in the butter. Cook for 8-10 minutes, basting occasionally with the sauce until the lobster meat is opaque and cooked through.
6. Finish Cooking: Once cooked, remove the lobster tails from the butter and place them on a serving platter.
7. Garnish: Drizzle some of the garlic butter sauce over the lobster tails and sprinkle with fresh parsley.
8. Serve: Garnish with lemon wedges and serve immediately.
