Butter-Poached Lobster

Butter-Poached Lobster

Instructions

1. Prepare the Lobster Tails:

   • Gently remove the lobster meat from the shells. Pat dry with paper towels and set aside.

2. Make a Butter Emulsion:

   • In a medium saucepan over low heat, add 1 tablespoon of water. Slowly add the butter cubes a few at a time, whisking continuously to create a smooth, creamy emulsion.

3. Poach the Lobster:

   • Once all the butter is melted and warm (without bubbling), add the lobster tails. Let the lobster gently poach in the butter over low heat for 5-7 minutes, or until the meat is opaque and cooked through. Avoid letting the butter boil.

4. Season and Serve:

   • Remove the lobster from the butter, season lightly with salt, and serve immediately. Garnish with fresh chives or parsley, and include lemon wedges for an extra hint of flavor.

Tips

• Keep the Butter Warm: Maintain a low heat so the butter stays melted without separating.
• Serving Ideas: Serve butter-poached lobster with pasta, risotto, or as an elegant standalone main.

This rich, buttery lobster is sure to impress! Enjoy!
