Ingredients
- 2-4 lobster tail cut in half or removed from shell
- salt and pepper to taste
- 5 oz butter
- ¼ cup diced garlic
- ½ cup white wine or stock
- 1 lemon sliced into thin rounds, and then wedges
Instructions
- Cut lobster tails down the middle, and then gently peel back lobster tail shell, slowly coaxing meat from the shell. OR cut tails in half, in shell, lengthwise.
- Salt and pepper lobster tails, and set aside.
- In a large, heavy pot, heat butter and garlic on medium high heat until garlic is soft and browned - about 1 minute.
- Stir in white wine.
- Add lobster tails to pan, and increase heat to medium high, to a gentile rolling boil.
- Ladle sauce over lobster tails and flip over to all sides to help lobster cook faster.
- Stir sauce frequently to prevent it from breaking.
- When lobster is slightly curled up into itself and is opaque and bright red on the bottom side, it is done - do not overcook. (If in shell, shell will be bright red and meat will be bright white and opaque.)
- Remove from heat and serve!
