Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large lobster tails, shells removed and sliced into thick medallions
- Salt and freshly cracked black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 garlic cloves, finely minced
- 1/2 cup seafood stock or chicken broth
- 3/4 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (optional, for depth)
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill or parsley, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
Instructions
- Pat lobster medallions dry and season lightly with salt, pepper, and paprika.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high. Sear lobster 1½–2 minutes per side until lightly golden. Remove and set aside.
- Lower heat to medium. Melt butter and sauté garlic for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Pour in seafood stock and simmer 2 minutes, scraping up all the flavorful bits.
- Stir in cream, Parmesan, and Dijon (if using). Simmer until velvety and slightly thickened.
- Return lobster to the pan and spoon sauce over gently. Simmer 1–2 minutes only—lobster should stay tender.
- Finish with lemon juice and fresh herbs. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Do not overcook lobster—less is more.
- Swap dill for tarragon for a French-style twist.
- Add a splash of white wine for extra elegance.
