Servings: 8 to 10 shooters
Prep Time: 10 min
Cook Time: 17 min
Difficulty: Easy

Ingredients Add to grocery list

3   garlic cloves
4 to 6   fresh Maine lobster tails
4 lb salted butter, clarified
4   fresh lemons, juiced

Directions

Cook’s note: This MUST be served warm

Reserve 1 cup of clarified butter and try to keep warm. 

Place lobster tails in a large pot and cover with the remaining butter. Add 3 cloves of garlic to the pot. Poach on a low heat until the lobster shell changes color and meat is cooked. Allow to cool slightly and harvest meat from tails. Chop meat into bite-size pieces. 

While meat is still warm, assemble the shooters. In shot glass pour a bit of the reserved warm butter into each glass. Top with lobster meat and drizzle with a bit of the lemon juice.
