Keto Lobster Tails are one of the most luxurious foods I think there are. This recipe for Lobster has a European flavor which is one of butter and wine.  It’s LOBSTER. Need I say more? Special occasions are exactly what this recipe is for. Needless to say, this is my dream meal. I look for lobster when it is on sale then I place it in my freezer. Indeed, I have found that lobster is often on sale in the summer and at Christmas time.A close up of two lobster tails with a wedge of lemon and broccoli.

Keto Lobster Tails:

For example, Anniversaries, Valentine’s Day, Weddings, or baptisms. What could be better than lobster tails? While lobster can be expensive it does tend to go on sale several times a year. I have noticed in my area it tends to go on sale in February for Valentine’s Day. However, sometimes you just feel like splurging for something so decadent like lobster.

In any case, this is an easy-to-follow recipe for frozen lobster tails. Indeed unless you live in a state close to the ocean then most likely you will find that your local stores only carry frozen lobster. Simply follow this recipe for a tasty lobster tail meal. Not to mention, this recipe is Keto, Paleo, and GAPS diet-friendly.

Needless to say, this recipe is based on one my mother used to make at our Scandinavian restaurant that was in Ririe, ID called European Inn. In summary, I would not be who I am today had I not worked as a hostess in my family’s restaurant from the age of 5 until I was 12 and my parents divorced.  In fact, my mother is from Sweden and therefore all of her cooking knowledge comes from Sweden. Anytime, we served lobster at our restaurant I would be drooling. Lobster is one of my favorite things to have. although on rare occasions.

Keto Lobster Tails:

Normally, it is really hard to find live lobster tails. However, even if I could find lobster tails I wouldn’t have the heart to cook them alive. It just is not something I could do. Therefore, I am indeed glad to find this tasty treat frozen.

While I know many are afraid to cook lobster don’t be as it is very simple and easy. In all honesty, cooking the lobster tails in butter and white wine will make this dish so decadent and flavorful. In any case, I highly suggest that you use the wine that you drink in this recipe. Don’t let lobster intimidate you. It is very simple actually. Remove the lobster tail the night before and allow to it defrost in the fridge overnight.

Notes:

Simply serve with melted butter, a little lemon wedge, and you will be in 7th heaven. Pairs very nicely with Flourless Chocolate Cake or Gluten-Free Chocolate Blackberry Cake, or serve with the Best Prime Rib Roast. Checkout Lobster Dip, Homemade Lobster Oil, Homemade Shellfish Stock, Spinach Strawberry Lobster Salad.

The below liquids can be used to cook up to two pounds of lobster.

Tongs for removing lobster from liquid can be found on Amazon if you don’t currently own one.
