Description

Indulge in the luxurious flavors of butter poached lobster tails, combining sweet, tender lobster meat with rich, creamy butter.


Ingredients

  • 4 lobster tails
  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 1 lemon, juiced
  • Fresh herbs, such as thyme or parsley, for garnish


Instructions

  1. Fill a pot with water and add salt, then bring it to a boil.
  2. Place the lobster tails in the pot and cook for about 3-5 minutes until they turn bright red.
  3. Remove the lobster tails and let them cool slightly.
  4. In a separate saucepan, melt the butter over low heat.
  5. Once melted, add the lobster tails to the butter, ensuring they are fully coated.
  6. Gently poach the lobster tails in the butter for about 8-10 minutes, until fully cooked and tender.
  7. Add lemon juice to the butter sauce for extra flavor.
  8. Serve the lobster tails drizzled with the buttery sauce and garnish with fresh herbs.

Notes

For best results, use fresh lobster tails and avoid high heat to prevent scorching the butter.
