The Perfect Ingredients for a Memorable Meal
To make this decadent dish, you’ll need the following ingredients:
- 1-2 lobsters (depending on size and serving preference)
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1/4 cup white wine
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh lemon wedges, for serving
Cooking the Lobster to Perfection
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Rinse the lobsters under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Place the lobsters on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, shell side up.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the garlic, white wine, and lemon juice. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook until the liquid has reduced by half.
Pour the butter mixture over the lobsters, making sure they’re fully coated. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
The Final Touches
Bake the lobsters in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes per pound, or until they’re cooked through. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with chopped parsley.
Serve the lobsters with fresh lemon wedges on the side. To crack open the shells, use a nutcracker or lobster cracker to release the meat from the shell.
