Ingredients

• 4 pieces Lobster tails
• 3 pieces Large eggs
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
• 0.5 cup Dry white wine
• 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
• 0.5 cup Chicken stock
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 4 pieces Lemon slices (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Using kitchen shears, carefully cut through the top shell of each lobster tail lengthwise, exposing the meat. Gently lift the meat and lay it over the shell for presentation. Set the lobster tails aside.

Step 2

In a shallow bowl, whisk the eggs until smooth. In another shallow bowl, combine the flour, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

Lightly dredge each lobster tail in the flour mixture, making sure to coat the meat evenly. Then dip the floured lobster tails into the beaten eggs, allowing excess egg to drip off.

Step 4

In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of butter and 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Once the butter is melted and bubbling, add the lobster tails, meat side down. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown. Transfer the sautéed lobster tails to a plate and set aside.

Step 5

In the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and minced garlic. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.

Step 6

Deglaze the pan with the white wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Let the wine reduce by half, about 2 minutes.

Step 7

Stir in the lemon juice and chicken stock. Simmer the sauce for 3-4 minutes, allowing it to thicken slightly.

Step 8

Return the lobster tails to the skillet, and spoon the sauce over them. Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes, or until the lobster meat is cooked through and opaque.

Step 9

Sprinkle the chopped parsley over the lobster tails and serve immediately, drizzled with the lemon butter sauce. Garnish with optional lemon slices if desired.
