Ingredients:

For the Lobster:

  • 1½ to 2 lbs lobster tail meat, cut into bite-sized chunks
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or unsalted butter
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

For the Garlic Butter Sauce:

  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon chopped parsley
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
  • 2 tablespoons chicken broth
  • Red pepper flakes (to taste)

Instructions:

Step 1: Prepare the Lobster

  • Cut the lobster tail meat into bite-sized chunks.
  • Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Step 2: Cook the Lobster

  • In a large skillet, heat olive oil or butter over medium-high heat.
  • Add lobster chunks and sauté for 2–3 minutes on each side, until golden and just cooked through.
  • Remove the lobster from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3: Make the Garlic Butter Sauce

  • In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
  • Add minced garlic and cook for 1–2 minutes until fragrant, stirring constantly.
  • Stir in lemon juice, parsley, thyme, and chicken broth.
  • Let the sauce simmer for 2–3 minutes to blend the flavors.
  • Season with red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper to taste.

Step 4: Combine the Lobster with the Sauce

  • Return lobster to the skillet and toss to coat with the garlic butter sauce.
  • Heat through for 1–2 minutes.

Step 5: Serve

  • Transfer to a serving platter.
  • Garnish with extra parsley if desired and serve immediately.

Tips for Success:

  • Lobster Cooking: Cook just until opaque and firm to avoid rubbery texture.
  • Broth Substitution: Chicken broth keeps the sauce light and savory without the need for wine.
  • Spice Level: Adjust red pepper flakes to your preference — mild or fiery!
