Ingredients:
For the Lobster:
1½ to 2 lbs lobster tail meat, cut into bite-sized chunks
2 tablespoons olive oil or unsalted butter
Salt and pepper, to taste
For the Garlic Butter Sauce:
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
1 teaspoon fresh thyme
1 tablespoon white wine (optional)
Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
Instructions:
Prepare the Lobster:
If using frozen lobster, thaw completely.
Remove meat from shells and cut into bite-sized chunks.
Cook the Lobster:
Heat olive oil or butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Sauté the lobster chunks for 2-3 minutes until they turn opaque.
Season with salt and pepper. Remove the lobster from the skillet and set aside.
Create the Garlic Butter Sauce:
In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
Sauté minced garlic for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add white wine and let it reduce for 2 minutes.
Stir in lemon juice, thyme, and red pepper flakes (if using). Let the sauce simmer for 1 minute.
Combine Lobster and Sauce:
Return the cooked lobster chunks to the skillet.
Gently toss the lobster in the sauce to coat evenly.
Let the mixture simmer for 1-2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if needed.
Finish and Serve:
Transfer the lobster bites to a serving platter.
Spoon the garlic butter sauce generously over the lobster.
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges for extra brightness.
