How to Make Butter-Poached Lobster Tails
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
Prepare the Butter Sauce: In a medium saucepan, heat 1/4 cup of water over medium-low heat until it just begins to simmer.
Emulsify the Butter: Slowly add the butter cubes, one at a time, whisking constantly to create a smooth, emulsified butter sauce (this is known as beurre monté).
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.
Poach the Lobster: Reduce the heat to low. Carefully place the lobster tails in the warm butter sauce, making sure they are fully submerged. Poach for 6-8 minutes, or until the meat is opaque and cooked through.
Serve: Remove the lobster tails from the butter and serve immediately. Garnish with fresh parsley and a drizzle of the butter sauce. Serve with lemon wedges on the side.
