Buttered Seared Lobster Tail!⁠⠀
Serves 4 in 25 mins.⁠⠀
Ingredients:⁠⠀
4 6oz (170g) lobster tails⁠⠀
1 teaspoon salt or to taste⁠⠀
Cracked pepper to taste⁠⠀
2 tablespoons cooking oil⁠⠀
1/2 cup unsalted butter, divided⁠⠀
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, (adjust to your taste)⁠⠀
4 large cloves garlic crushed⁠⠀
Lemon slices to serve⁠⠀
1 tablespoon fresh chopped parsley to garnish.⁠⠀
.⁠⠀
Instructions:⁠⠀
*Thaw out lobster tails, if frozen, in a pot of cold water for 30 minutes or more, until fully thawed.

*Rinse and pat dry with paper towels.

*Using sharp kitchen shears, cut the top shell down the centre of the back to the end of the tail, leaving tail fan intact. *Remove vein or shell shards, if any.

*Run your finger between the meat and the shell to loosen it. Spread the meat slightly open.

*Pull and lift the lobster meat off of the bottom of the shell, being careful not to pull the tail out completely.

*Season lobster tails generously with salt and pepper.

*Heat 2 tablespoons butter and oil in a pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Swirl in 1 tablespoon of lemon juice and sear lobster, flesh side down on the pan, for 2 minutes until edges are crisp and golden.

*Flip all tails, cover pan and let cook for a further 1-2 minutes, or until shells are pink and meat has just cooked through (opaque) — be careful not to overcook!⁠⠀
*Melt the remaining butter in the centre of the pan; sauté the garlic until fragrant (about 1 minute).

*Squeeze in remaining lemon juice and spoon pan juices over the lobster meat.⁠⠀
*Take off heat immediately and garnish with parsley⁠⠀
*Serve with remaining pan sauce and lemon slices.⁠
