How to Store & Serve:

Garlic-roasted lobster tails are best served hot out of the oven, drizzled with the pan juices and garnished with extra fresh herbs and a squeeze of lemon. If you have leftovers, store them properly to preserve flavor and texture.

• Refrigerator: Let the lobster tails cool completely, then transfer to an airtight container. Store in the fridge for up to 2 days.

• Freezer: For longer storage, remove the meat from the shells, wrap tightly in plastic wrap, and freeze in a sealed container for up to 1 month.

• Reheat via Stovetop (Best method): Place lobster meat in a covered pan with a splash of olive oil, butter, or broth. Warm gently over low heat for 5–7 minutes, until just heated through.

• Reheat via Oven: Reheat in a foil-covered baking dish at 300°F (150°C) for 8–10 minutes.

• Avoid the microwave, as it can make the lobster rubbery.

Tip: Lobster is delicate—reheat it gently and only once to maintain its tender, juicy texture.
