Notes

For a bit of heat, try adding a pinch of cayenne pepper to the garlic butter. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, warm gently in a pan with a bit of extra butter or cream to keep the lobster moist. Enjoy this dish fresh for the best flavor and texture!
