👨🍳 How to Make Garlic Butter Lobster Bites (Step-by-Step)
1. Prepare the Lobster
If frozen, thaw lobster tails fully and pat dry. Cut into bite-sized chunks and season with paprika, salt, and pepper.
2. Sear the Lobster
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear lobster for 2–3 minutes, or until just cooked and slightly golden. Remove and set aside.
3. Make the Garlic Butter Sauce
In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium. Add butter and sauté minced garlic until fragrant (about 1 minute). Stir in broth, lemon juice, and red pepper flakes. Simmer for 2–3 minutes until slightly reduced.
4. Finish and Serve
Return the lobster bites to the skillet and coat with the sauce. Let them simmer for 1–2 minutes. Plate and spoon extra sauce over the top. Garnish with chopped parsley and a lemon wedge for presentation.
