Ingredients
Scale
4 lobster tails (split and cleaned)
3 tbsp unsalted butter (melted)
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 tsp paprika
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tbsp fresh parsley (chopped)
Salt & black pepper to taste
Instructions
Preheat your broiler. In a small bowl, combine melted butter, minced garlic, paprika, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Brush the mixture generously over the lobster meat.
Place the lobster tails under the broiler and cook for 6–8 minutes, or until the meat is opaque and slightly golden.
In a small saucepan over low heat, warm the heavy cream. Stir in the Parmesan cheese and remaining garlic. Simmer for 2–3 minutes until the sauce thickens.
Drizzle the warm garlic cream sauce over the broiled lobster tails.
Garnish with chopped parsley and serve immediately with crusty bread, mashed potatoes, or pasta.
Optional: Add a pinch of cayenne or red pepper flakes to the sauce for a spicy kick.
Notes
Use fresh lobster tails for best flavor and texture.
Don’t overcook the lobster tails to avoid a rubbery texture.
Double the sauce recipe if serving with pasta or mashed potatoes.
