  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 2 servings 1x

Description

An elegant, restaurant-quality seafood dish featuring perfectly broiled lobster tails topped with a rich, garlicky butter hollandaise. Ready in just 25 minutes for a gourmet experience at home.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lobster tails (6–8 oz each), thawed if frozen
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • Salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
  • 1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • Fresh chopped parsley, for garnish
  • 2 large egg yolks, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 clove garlic, finely minced
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • Pinch of cayenne pepper (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat broiler and position rack 6–8 inches from heat source.
  2. Using kitchen scissors, cut along the top of each lobster shell and gently lift meat over shell (piggyback style). Place on a baking sheet.
  3. Mix melted butter, minced garlic, lemon juice, paprika, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
  4. Brush mixture over lobster meat. Combine breadcrumbs with olive oil and sprinkle on top.
  5. Broil for 8–10 minutes until lobster meat is opaque and breadcrumbs golden (internal temp 140°F).
  6. For hollandaise: whisk egg yolks and lemon juice over a double boiler, slowly drizzle in melted butter while whisking until thickened. Stir in garlic, salt, and cayenne.
  7. Drizzle garlic butter hollandaise over broiled lobster, garnish with parsley, and serve immediately.

Notes

Use 6–8 oz lobster tails for best results. Do not overcook—stop at 140°F internal temperature for tender texture. Hollandaise must be served immediately for best consistency.
