1. How do I know when the lobster tails are fully cooked?
Lobster tails are done when the meat turns opaque and white. The internal temperature should reach 140°F. Be careful not to overcook, as this can make the lobster tough.
2. Can I make this dish without cream?
Yes, you can skip the cream and simply baste the lobster tails with garlic butter for a lighter version. If you prefer a creamy sauce but want to avoid dairy, coconut cream can be a good substitute.
3. Can I use frozen lobster tails?
Absolutely! Just be sure to thaw them properly in the refrigerator for at least 12-24 hours before cooking.
4. How do I store leftovers?
Leftover lobster can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in a pan with a bit of butter to avoid overcooking.
5. Can I use this sauce for other seafood?
Yes! This creamy garlic butter sauce is versatile and works wonderfully with shrimp, scallops, or even crab.
