Luxurious Lobster Bites in Aromatic Garlic Butter Sauce: A Decadent Seafood Delight

Cut the lobster meat: If using lobster tails, carefully remove the meat from the shell and cut it into bite-sized chunks. Make sure the pieces are roughly uniform in size for even cooking.
Step 2: Cook the Lobster
Sear the lobster: In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat. Once melted and bubbling, add the lobster pieces and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until they turn golden brown and are just cooked through. Remove the lobster from the skillet and set it aside.
Step 3: Make the Garlic Butter Sauce
Prepare the garlic butter: In the same skillet, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the garlic becomes fragrant and golden (be careful not to burn it).
Add seasoning: Stir in the paprika, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste. For a bit of heat, sprinkle in some red pepper flakes.
Step 4: Combine and Serve
Return the lobster to the pan: Add the lobster pieces back into the skillet and toss them gently in the garlic butter sauce, making sure they’re well coated. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to heat the lobster through and allow the flavors to meld.
Garnish and serve: Remove from heat and sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley for a burst of color and freshness. Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
