- 4 tbsp butter divided
- 4 garlic cloves minced
- ½ cup heavy cream
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prep the Lobster Tails: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Use kitchen shears to make a lengthwise cut at the top of each lobster shell. Carefully lift the meat out, resting it atop the shell.

- Bake: Arrange the tails on a baking tray and cook in the oven for 8-10 minutes, until the lobster is firm and opaque.
- Craft the Sauce: In a skillet on medium heat, melt the remaining butter. Add garlic and sauté until it's aromatic. Pour in the heavy cream and Parmesan, and let it simmer until thick. Incorporate the lemon juice, and season with salt and pepper to your liking.
