Recipe by: Sticky Balsamic
Method:
Prep the Lobster (15 minutes)
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Using kitchen shears, cut through the top shell of each lobster tail lengthwise, stopping at the tail fin.
- Gently pull the meat up and over the shell, keeping it attached at the base – this creates the classic “piggyback” presentation.
- Pat the lobster meat dry and season lightly with salt and pepper.
Create the Balsamic Glaze (5 minutes)
- In a small saucepan, combine Sticky Balsamic Original and minced garlic.
- Simmer over medium heat for 2-3 minutes.
- Remove from heat and whisk in butter until glossy.
- Set aside half the glaze for serving.
Cook the Lobster (12-15 minutes)
- Place lobster tails on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Brush the exposed meat with olive oil, then generously coat with half the balsamic glaze.
- Tuck fresh thyme sprigs around the lobster tails.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) and the meat is opaque.
- For extra caramelization, broil for the last 2 minutes.
Finishing Touches
- Remove from oven and brush with remaining glaze.
- Carefully spoon Sticky Balsamic Lemon Pearls over each lobster tail – about 1 tsp (5ml) per tail.
- Garnish with microgreens and serve immediately with lemon wedges.
- Enjoy!
