Butter Poached Lobster Tail

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Lobster

    Start by bringing a pot of water to a boil. Add the lobster tails and cook for 1-2 minutes to par-cook them. Remove and set aside.

  2. 2

    Butter Poaching

    In a saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Add minced garlic and salt. Once melted, add the par-cooked lobster tails and poach them for about 8-10 minutes, or until fully cooked and tender.

  3. 3

    Fancy Tater Tots

    Cook frozen tater tots according to package instructions until golden and crispy. Set aside.

  4. 4

    Grilled White Asparagus

    Trim the ends of the white asparagus and grill them over medium heat until tender and slightly charred, about 5-7 minutes.

  5. 5

    Plating

    On a plate, place a bed of fancy tater tots, top with the butter poached lobster tail. Garnish with grilled white asparagus, a dollop of caviar, and a squeeze of Meyer lemon juice.
