Luxurious Lobster Bites in Aromatic Garlic Butter Sauce

"Succulent lobster chunks coated in a rich, buttery garlic sauce with hints of lemon and herbs—perfect for a decadent appetizer or indulgent dinner."

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 fresh parsley, chopped

1 teaspoon fresh thyme

1 tablespoon white wine (optional)

Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)

Instructions:

Prepare the Lobster:

If using frozen lobster, thaw completely.

Remove meat from shells and cut into bite-sized chunks.

Cook the Lobster:

Heat olive oil or butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Sauté the lobster chunks for 2-3 minutes until they turn opaque.

Season with salt and pepper. Remove the lobster from the skillet and set aside.

Create the Garlic Butter Sauce:

In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.

Sauté minced garlic for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Add white wine and let it reduce for 2 minutes.

Stir in lemon juice, thyme, and red pepper flakes (if using). Let the sauce simmer for 1 minute.

Combine Lobster and Sauce:

Return the cooked lobster chunks to the skillet.

Gently toss the lobster in the sauce to coat evenly.

Let the mixture simmer for 1-2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if needed.

Finish and Serve:

Transfer the lobster bites to a serving platter.

Spoon the garlic butter sauce generously over the lobster.

Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges for extra brightness.
