Description
Indulge in tender lobster tails drizzled with rich Alfredo sauce, perfect for special occasions.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 lobster tails, thawed and split
- 2 tbsp olive oil (for brushing)
- 4 tbsp butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- 1 tbsp lemon juice (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your broiler.
- Use kitchen shears to cut through the top shell of each lobster tail, exposing the meat. Gently lift the meat from the shell and rest it on top, leaving the tail attached.
- Brush the lobster meat with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place the tails on a baking sheet and broil for 6-8 minutes or until the meat is opaque and lightly golden.
- While the lobster cooks, melt the butter in a pan over medium heat. Add the garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant. Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Once it thickens, stir in the Parmesan and mozzarella cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Once the lobster is done, drizzle the Alfredo sauce over the lobster tails. Garnish with chopped parsley and a squeeze of lemon juice, if desired. Serve immediately.
Notes
Use fresh lobster tails for the best flavor. Avoid over-broiling to prevent drying out. Adjust garlic and parmesan levels based on taste preferences.
