South African Lobster Tail Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Lobster Tail

   Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Using kitchen scissors, cut the top of the lobster shell lengthwise and gently pull the meat out to lay on top of the shell. Season with salt, pepper, and a sprinkle of garlic powder.

2. 2

   Roast the Asparagus

   On a baking sheet, place the asparagus. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and toss to coat. Roast in the oven for about 10-15 minutes until tender.

3. 3

   Cook the Lobster

   Place the lobster tails in the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes or until the meat is opaque and cooked through. In the last few minutes, melt the butter in a small saucepan. Add garlic powder for flavor if desired.

4. 4

   Make the Mashed Potatoes

   While the lobster and asparagus are cooking, peel and chop the redskin potatoes. Boil in salted water for about 15-20 minutes until fork-tender. Drain and return to the pot. Add milk, salt, and pepper to taste, then mash until creamy.

5. 5

   Serve

   Plate the roasted asparagus, lobster tail drizzled with drawn butter, and a generous serving of redskin mashed potatoes. Enjoy your South African Lobster Tail!
