📋 Ingredients:
4 lobster tails
1 cup unsalted butter, cut into cubes
1/4 cup water
2 cloves garlic, minced (optional)
1 tablespoon lemon juice
Salt and pepper, to taste
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Lemon wedges (for serving)
👩🍳 Directions:
1️⃣ Prepare the Butter Sauce: In a medium saucepan, heat 1/4 cup water over medium-low heat until it just begins to simmer.
2️⃣ Emulsify the Butter: Slowly add the butter cubes, one at a time, whisking constantly to create a smooth, emulsified butter sauce (known as beurre monté).
3️⃣ Flavor the Sauce: Once all the butter is melted and smooth, stir in the minced garlic (if using), lemon juice, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
4️⃣ Poach the Lobster: Reduce the heat to low, keeping the butter sauce warm but not boiling. Carefully place the lobster tails in the butter sauce, ensuring they are fully submerged. Poach for 6-8 minutes, or until the meat is opaque and cooked through.
5️⃣ Serve: Remove the lobster tails from the butter and serve
