Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Prepare the lobster tails by using kitchen shears to cut through the top shell. Gently lift the meat, allowing it to rest on the shell.
Cooking
- Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Pour in the heavy cream, followed by Parmesan cheese and lemon juice, stirring continuously. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste.
- Place the lobster tails on a baking sheet and spoon the creamy garlic sauce over the meat.
- Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes until the meat turns opaque and firm.
Serving
- Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges if desired.
Notes
Use fresh lobster if possible. Adding seafood stock to the sauce enhances umami. For a bit of heat, sprinkle red pepper flakes.
