Creamy Garlic Lobster Tails
Succulent lobster tails are roasted until just tender, then bathed in a velvety garlic–Parmesan cream sauce brightened with lemon and parsley. Elegant enough for special occasions yet simple to prepare, this dish pairs beautifully with crusty bread or buttered pasta.

Notes
- Lobster Prep: To make shell cutting easier, place tails in the freezer for 10 minutes beforehand—the shells firm up.
- Sauce Consistency: If your sauce thickens too much, whisk in a splash of cream or stock to loosen it.
