Lobster Tails

Drawn Butter

Asparagus

Mashed Potatoes

Method

Lobster Tails

  1. 1

    Prepare the Lobster Tails

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Using kitchen scissors, cut the top shell of the lobster tail down the center, being careful not to cut into the meat. Gently pull the shell apart and lift the meat above the shell.

  2. 2

    Season the Lobster

    Sprinkle the lobster meat with salt and a squeeze of lemon juice. Place the lobster tails on a baking sheet.

  3. 3

    Cook the Lobster

    Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until the meat is opaque and cooked through.

Drawn Butter

  1. 4

    Melt the Butter

    In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Add minced garlic and simmer for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

  2. 5

    Finish the Drawn Butter

    Remove from heat and stir in finely chopped fresh parsley. Keep warm until serving.

Asparagus

  1. 6

    Prepare the Asparagus

    Trim the tough ends off the asparagus. Rinse and pat dry.

  2. 7

    Roast the Asparagus

    Toss the asparagus with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread evenly on a baking sheet and roast in the oven (can be done at the same time as the lobster) for about 10-12 minutes, until tender yet crisp.

Mashed Potatoes

  1. 8

    Boil the Potatoes

    Peel and cut the russet potatoes into quarters. Place them in a large pot of salted water and bring to a boil. Cook until fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.

  2. 9

    Mash the Potatoes

    Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add heavy cream, unsalted butter, and salt. Mash until smooth and creamy, adjusting seasoning to taste.
