Broiled Lobster Tails in Creamy Garlic Butter Sauce ✨
🥣 Instructions
1. Prep the Lobster
Preheat broiler to high.
With kitchen scissors, cut the shell down the center to the tail.
Gently lift the lobster meat out, place it on top of the shell.
Brush with olive oil.
Season with paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
2. Broil
Place lobster tails on a lined pan, meat side up.
Broil 6–8 minutes, depending on size, until the meat is opaque and lightly browned.
Don’t overcook; lobster should still be tender and juicy.
3. Make the Sauce
In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat.
Add garlic and cook 1 minute until fragrant (not browned).
Pour in cream and simmer lightly 2–3 minutes.
Whisk in Parmesan until smooth.
Add Dijon, lemon zest, and lemon juice.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Simmer gently until thick and silky.
4. Serve
Spoon hot creamy garlic butter sauce over broiled lobster.
Garnish with parsley.
Serve immediately with lemon wedges.

💡 Tips for Perfection
Don’t boil the cream—keep it gentle.
Use fresh Parmesan, not pre-shredded.
Broil close to the heat for a golden top.
Add a splash of white wine to the sauce for restaurant flair.
🧊 Storage
Lobster is best eaten fresh. Refrigerate leftovers up to 1 day, and reheat gently to avoid toughness.
