Luxurious Lobster Bites in Aromatic Garlic Butter Sauce

 

 

Ingredients:

– 1 to 2 lbs lobster tail meat, cut into bite-sized chunks
– 4 cloves garlic, minced
– 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
– 2 tablespoons olive oil or unsalted butter
– 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
– 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
– 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)

 

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Lobster:
– If using frozen lobster, ensure it is completely thawed before proceeding.
– Remove the lobster meat from its shell and cut it into bite-sized chunks.

2. Cook the Lobster:
– In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil or unsalted butter over medium-high heat.
– Add the lobster chunks to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes, or until they turn opaque.
– Season the lobster with salt and pepper, then remove it from the skillet and set aside.

3. Make the Garlic Butter Sauce:
– Using the same skillet, melt the 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter over medium heat.
– Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until it becomes fragrant.
– Incorporate the fresh lemon juice and thyme.
– Let the sauce simmer for about 1 minute. If you prefer a little heat, add the red pepper flakes at this point.

4. Combine Lobster and Sauce:
– Return the sautéed lobster chunks to the skillet with the garlic butter sauce.
– Gently toss the lobster to ensure it is evenly coated.
– Allow the mixture to simmer for an additional 1-2 minutes for the flavors to meld beautifully.

5. Finish and Serve:
– Transfer the luxurious lobster bites to a serving platter.
– Drizzle the garlic butter sauce generously over the lobster.
– Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges for that extra zing.
