Ingredients:
1 to 2 lbs lobster tail meat, cut into bite-sized chunks
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons olive oil or unsalted butter
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
1 teaspoon fresh thyme
Salt and pepper, to taste
Pinch of red pepper flakes, optional for heat
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Lobster:
Thaw frozen lobster completely if using.
Remove the lobster meat from the shells and cut it into bite-sized chunks.
2. Cook the Lobster:
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat olive oil or unsalted butter.
Add the lobster chunks and sauté for about 2-3 minutes or until they turn opaque.
Season with salt and pepper. Once cooked, remove the lobster from the skillet and set aside.
3. Create the Garlic Butter Sauce:
In the same skillet, add the unsalted butter and melt it over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until it's fragrant but not browned.
Stir in the fresh lemon juice and let the mixture simmer for about 1 minute.
If desired, sprinkle in a pinch of red pepper flakes for a touch of heat, and let the sauce meld for an additional minute.
4. Combine Lobster and Sauce:
Return the cooked lobster chunks to the skillet.
Gently toss the lobster in the sauce until well coated.
Allow the mixture to simmer together for 1-2 minutes to enhance the flavors.
5. Finish and Serve:
Transfer the lavish lobster bites to a beautiful serving platter.
Generously spoon the aromatic garlic butter sauce over the lobster.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges for an extra burst of brightness.
