Lobster Ingredients
  • 1 lb Lobster tail meat Thawed if previously frozen, check if raw or precooked.
Garlic Butter Sauce
  • 4 tbsp Unsalted butter Use high-quality butter for best flavor.
  • 3 cloves Garlic Minced, avoid browning to prevent bitter taste.
  • 1 tbsp Lemon juice Freshly squeezed for best results.
  • 2 tbsp Fresh parsley Chopped, for garnish.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Thaw lobster tail meat in the refrigerator if frozen and drain excess moisture.
  2. Melt butter in a medium pan over low heat; add minced garlic and sauté gently without browning.
  3. Stir in lemon juice and parsley, and set the garlic butter sauce aside.
Cooking
  1. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat until hot.
  2. Add the lobster pieces to the skillet, avoiding overcrowding, and sear until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes on each side.
  3. Once cooked, quickly remove from heat and toss the lobster in the prepared garlic butter sauce.

Notes

Serve immediately for the best texture. These lobster bites are best enjoyed hot and make for a wonderful appetizer paired with lighter dishes like salads or roasted vegetables.
