Step-by-Step Instructions
Prepare the Lobster Tails:
Using sharp kitchen shears cut along the top of each lobster tail’s shell from the wide end to just before the tail fin Gently lift the meat and pull it above the shell leaving it attached at the base Fan and lay the meat beautifully on top of the shell This makes for that steakhouse wow factor and even cooking
Make the Creamy Garlic Butter Sauce:
In a small saucepan melt your butter over medium heat When foamy add the minced garlic and let it sizzle about a minute until fragrant Do not let it brown Pour in the heavy cream and lemon juice Season with a pinch of salt and plenty of freshly cracked pepper Simmer three to five minutes stirring often until it slightly thickens The sauce should coat the back of a spoon
Assemble for Broiling:
Place the prepared lobster tails in a broiler safe baking dish Spoon your warm sauce generously over the lobster meat Top with a handful of shredded cheese if you want it extra rich
Broil to Perfection:
Slide the pan under your oven’s broiler on high Broil for seven to ten minutes depending on lobster size Baste halfway with more sauce if you like cooking until the meat is just opaque and beginning to brown lightly on top Watch closely so it does not overcook
Finish and Serve:
Sprinkle with lots of fresh parsley and a little more black pepper Serve immediately while hot If you have extra sauce from the pan spoon it over as you eat
