Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Lobster

    Using kitchen shears, cut the top shell of the lobster tails down the middle to expose the meat. Remove any green tomalley and rinse the tails under cold water.

  2. 2

    Melt the Butter

    In a saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Be careful not to let it brown.

  3. 3

    Add Aromatics

    Once the butter is melted, add minced garlic, fresh thyme sprigs, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine and let simmer for about 5 minutes to infuse the flavors.

  4. 4

    Poach the Lobster

    Add the lobster tails to the saucepan, ensuring they are submerged in the butter. Cook for about 8-10 minutes, or until the meat is opaque and cooked through.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove the lobster tails from the butter and place them on a serving platter. Drizzle with some of the butter sauce and garnish with additional thyme or lemon wedges if desired.
