Baking Tips
For extra flavor, baste the lobster tails with the garlic butter while baking.
Use fresh lobster tails for the best texture and taste.
If you prefer a thinner sauce, add a splash more broth or cream.
Pair with garlic mashed potatoes, buttered asparagus, or a crisp white wine.
If you don’t have an oven-safe skillet, transfer the lobster to a baking dish after searing.

Ingredients

Custard Cream
01
2 lobster tails (6-8 ounces each)
02
4 tablespoons unsalted butter (divided)
03
1 tablespoon olive oil
04
4 cloves garlic (minced)
05
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
06
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
07
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
08
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for spice)
09
1/2 cup heavy cream
10
1/4 cup chicken or seafood broth
11
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
12
1 tablespoon lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
13
1 teaspoon lemon zest
14
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)
15
1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
16
1/4 teaspoon Dijon mustard (for depth of flavor)

Instructions

01
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Butterfly the lobster tails by cutting through the top shell lengthwise with kitchen scissors and pulling the meat out to rest on top of the shell.
02
Season the lobster tails with salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, and a drizzle of olive oil.
03
In a large oven-safe skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
04
Place the lobster tails in the skillet, meat-side down, and sear for 1-2 minutes.
05
Flip the lobster tails over, spoon some of the garlic butter over the meat, and transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Bake for 7-10 minutes, depending on the size of the tails.
06
While the lobster bakes, prepare the creamy garlic butter sauce: In the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter, heavy cream, broth, Parmesan cheese, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, and Italian seasoning.
07
Let the sauce simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened. Adjust seasoning with salt and red pepper flakes if desired.
08
Remove the lobster tails from the oven and spoon the creamy garlic butter sauce generously over them.
09
Garnish with fresh parsley, lemon zest, and serve hot with extra sauce on the side.
