Ingredients
Scale
- 4 lobster tails, thawed if frozen
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- ½ cup freshly grated mozzarella
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- Lemon wedges (for serving)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F). Using kitchen shears, cut the lobster shells lengthwise and gently pull the meat upward, resting it on top of the shell.
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and sauté the garlic for about 1 minute, just until fragrant. Add the cream and bring to a gentle simmer.
- Add mozzarella and Parmesan, stirring until smooth and creamy. Season with salt, pepper, and lemon juice.
- Arrange lobster tails in a baking dish and spoon sauce generously over each one. Bake 12–15 minutes until opaque and bubbling.
- Broil 2–3 minutes until golden. Garnish with parsley and serve with lemon wedges.
Notes
- Don’t overbake the lobster
- Use freshly grated cheese for smooth melting
- Light cream works for a lighter version
