Lobster Tails recipe with dill butter sauce
This Lobster Tails recipe with dill butter sauce recipe is my all time favorite way to cook a butterflied lobster tail and is ready in under 10 minutes. I hope you enjoy this delicious meal with someone special!
If you prefer parsley you can also use that in replace of the dill. Each herb gives the Lobster a unique flavor and both work very well!
HOW TO BUTTERFLY A LOBSTER TAIL
The simplest way is flip the tail over and with your hands crack each edge along the inside of the shell as seen in THE PIC below. Then take two fingers and push down behind the meat in order to separate the meat from the shell and pull up and out over top of the shell.
- This is the type of recipe that you will want to make for someone special! Valentines day is defiantly a perfect day for that.
- Then you can serve these also along some rice or pasta dish and a vegetable of your liking.
HOW TO MAKE BUTTER SAUCE FOR LOBSTER TAILS
- There is 2 ways, you can stove top the sauce only or you can stove-top and blend the sauce for a more creamy texture. Honestly, both are divine and that is up to you!
- For this recipe, I used just the stove top which left the minced garlic more chunky.
- In order to make the butter sauce, first you will want to heat up some olive oil. This ensures the butter does not turn brown. Once that is done, melt the butter and add in your fresh minced garlic and herbs. Sauté till fragrant and serve over your previously cooked lobster tails.
HOW TO SAUTE LOBSTER TAILS
- Start by butterflying each lobster tail (see pictures above)Then in a large frying pan heat up your oil then add in the butter to melt.
- Toss in the lobster tails (meat side down) and cook for 4 minutes over medium heat or until browned to your liking
- Remove the lobster tails and plate.
- Meanwhile in the same pan, add the remaining butter and fresh herbs
- Squeeze in the lemon juice and sauté for a few seconds.
- Pour overtop of the lobster tails
- Enjoy!
