Instructions
Wash produce before use
1
Prep and roast the vegetables
Heat the oven to 425°F.
- Scrub the potatoes. Cut the potatoes in half; cut any large potatoes into quarters.
- Trim the root ends from the baby broccoli.
- Peel and thinly slice the shallots.
On a sheet pan [2 sheet pans], drizzle the potatoes, baby broccoli, and shallots with 1 to 2 tablespoons oil; season generously with salt and pepper and toss to coat. Spread in an even layer and roast, stirring once halfway through, until the vegetables are lightly browned and tender, 14 to 16 minutes. Meanwhile, start preparing the rest of the meal.
2
Make the garlic butter and the cream sauce
- Finely chop, press, or grate the garlic.
In a small sauce pot over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir in the garlic and zhug spice blend and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Transfer 1 tablespoon [2 TBL] garlic butter to a small bowl and set aside for the lobster.
To the remaining garlic butter in the pot, add the milk, season with salt and pepper, and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until thickened slightly, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat, stir in the Parmesan, and cover to keep warm.
3
Prep and steam the lobster
- Working with 1 lobster tail at a time, place the lobster with the top shell facing up on a cutting board. Using clean kitchen shears or scissors, cut down the center of the shell, avoiding the meat, until you reach the base of the tail (do not cut through the tail; keep it intact). Turn the lobster over and repeat with the bottom shell, cutting down the center to the base of the tail. Using your fingers, gently spread the shells apart and lift out the meat, keeping the meat attached near the end of the tail. Press the empty shell halves back together and lay the lobster meat on top of the shell.
In a large frying pan, bring ½ inch of water to a boil. Add the lobster, with the shell down and meat facing up, cover, and cook until the lobster meat is opaque throughout, 4 to 6 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Brush with or spoon over the reserved garlic butter. While the lobster is steaming, prepare the garnishes.
