This recipe is not only simple to prepare but also allows the natural flavors of the lobster to shine through. Whether you are celebrating a milestone or simply indulging in a luxurious meal, this garlic butter lobster will surely impress.
Ingredients
Before we dive into the recipe, let’s gather our ingredients. Here’s what you will need:
- 2 OceanBox Cold Water Lobster lobsters
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Lemon wedges for serving
Instructions
Now that we have everything ready, let’s get started on this delightful dish.
First, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Carefully add the lobsters to the pot, headfirst, and cover. Boil the lobsters for about 8 to 10 minutes, or until they turn bright red and are cooked through. Once done, remove them from the pot and let them cool slightly.
While the lobsters are cooling, we can prepare the garlic butter. In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 to 2 minutes, until fragrant but not browned. Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the fresh lemon juice and chopped parsley. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Next, it’s time to prepare the lobsters for serving. Using a sharp knife, carefully split the lobsters in half lengthwise. This will expose the tender meat and make it easier to enjoy. Place the lobster halves on a serving platter, cut side up.
Now, generously drizzle the garlic butter over the lobster meat, ensuring that every bite is infused with that rich, buttery flavor. You can also reserve some of the garlic butter for dipping later.
To serve, accompany the lobster with lemon wedges for an extra burst of freshness. This dish pairs beautifully with a crisp white wine or a light sparkling beverage, making it a perfect choice for an elegant seafood dinner.
Enjoy your garlic butter lobster, and savor the luxurious flavors that this dish brings to your table. Whether it’s a special occasion or a treat for yourself, this recipe is sure to create memorable moments. Happy cooking!
