Spicy Garlic-Herb Butter: For those who enjoy a bit of heat, add a teaspoon of sriracha or chili paste to the garlic-herb butter mixture for a spicy kick.
Citrus Infusion: For a refreshing twist, swap the lemon zest for orange zest, and finish the dish with a drizzle of fresh orange juice.
Grilled Lobster Medallions: If you prefer a smoky flavor, grill the lobster medallions instead of searing them. Simply brush with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and grill for 2-3 minutes on each side before adding the garlic-herb butter sauce.
FAQ:
Q1: Can I use frozen lobster tails for this recipe?
Yes, frozen lobster tails can be used. Just make sure to thaw them completely in the fridge before cutting and cooking.

If fresh herbs aren’t available, you can substitute with dried herbs. Use about 1 teaspoon of dried thyme and rosemary for the recipe.
Q3: How can I make this dish more substantial?
You can serve the lobster medallions over a bed of pasta or risotto for a heartier meal.
