Time 40m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 (6 ounce) lobster tails
2 slices lemon, plus more for garnish
2 teaspoons butter
1 pinch dried parsley
1 pinch granulated garlic

Steps:

  • Fill a large pot with warm water. Attach the sous vide cooker to the pot and set the temperature to 130 degrees Fahrenheit (54 degrees Celsius) and the time to 30 minutes.
  • Cutting the underside of the lobster tail with kitchen shears and remove the fins; carefully lift the meat out.
  • Place 1 slice of lemon in the bottom of a resealable zip-top bag. Place lobster tail over lemon and spread with butter. Season with a pinch of parsley and garlic. Seal the second half of the lemon, lobster, butter, and seasonings this way in a second bag.
  • Use the water immersion method to remove all air from the bags and place into the pot, securing with tongs so they are fully immersed.
  • When the time is up, remove the bags from the pot, open, and move the tails onto a warm plate.
