Ingredients

• Lobster tails - 2 (about 300g total)
• Butter - 50g
• Garlic - 4 cloves, minced
• Fresh parsley - 2 tablespoons, chopped
• Fresh dill - 1 tablespoon, chopped
• Lemon juice - 1 tablespoon
• Salt - to taste
• Black pepper - to taste
• Red pepper flakes - 1/4 teaspoon (optional)

Steps

1. Start by bringing a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the lobster tails and cook for 5-7 minutes until they turn bright red. Remove them from the pot and let them cool slightly.
2. Once cool enough to handle, carefully cut the lobster tails in half lengthwise to remove the meat. Set aside.
3. In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned.
4. Add the lobster meat to the skillet, along with the chopped parsley, dill, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, stirring gently until the lobster is heated through.
5. Serve the lobster tails warm, garnished with extra parsley and a wedge of lemon on the side.
