This recipe for Roasted Lobster Tails with Ginger Dipping Sauce from Love With Recipes brings together succulent lobster meat with a zesty ginger sauce, making it the perfect choice for a special occasion or an impressive meal.
Ingredients:
- 3/4 teaspoon dry mustard
- 1/2 cup water
- 3 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon plum sauce
- 1 tablespoon dry sherry
- 3/4 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
- 2 frozen lobster tails
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 green onion, sliced for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
-
Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). This will ensure that your lobster tails cook evenly and develop a delicious roasted flavor.
-
Prepare the Ginger Dipping Sauce:
- In a small bowl, combine the dry mustard and water. Whisk them together until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
- Add the low sodium soy sauce, plum sauce, dry sherry, and freshly grated ginger to the bowl. Stir everything together until fully incorporated. Set this fragrant sauce aside to allow the flavors to meld.
-
Prepare the Lobster Tails:
- Using kitchen shears, make a lengthwise cut through the top of each lobster shell. Be careful to cut only through the shell and not the lobster meat underneath. This will help the lobster cook evenly and allow the flavors to infuse better.
- Gently press the lobster shell open to expose the meat.
-
Season the Lobster:
- Place the lobster tails, cut sides facing up, in a shallow roasting pan. Lightly coat the pan with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- In a small bowl, combine your choice of oils (such as olive oil or vegetable oil) with the black pepper. Spoon this mixture evenly over the exposed lobster meat.
-
Roast the Lobster:
- Transfer the roasting pan to the preheated oven and bake for approximately 13 minutes. The lobster is done when the meat has turned opaque and is firm to the touch.
-
Serve and Garnish:
- Once the lobster tails are roasted to perfection, remove them from the oven and serve them immediately with the prepared ginger dipping sauce.
- For a touch of freshness, you can garnish the lobster tails with sliced green onions if desired.
