Ingredients

3 lobster tails

2-3 cups lobster of fish stock

1 tablespoon White sugar

2 tablespoon butter

2 chili peppers minced

3 tablespoon finely chopped onion

6 garlic cloves shredded

Salt to taste

Black pepper

Instructions

• Remove the lobster whole from the tail
• Skewer with a wooden stick to make it into a ‘pop” this also prevents it from curling up when cooking
• Bring the lobster or fish stock to boil,
• Add the lobster tails and cook for 6 minutes
• Remove the lobster from the stock and place in an ice bath to stop the cooking process.
• Don’t keep it in the ice bath too long, just enough time so that it is no longer hot and set aside
• In a hot saucepan add the sugar
• Add 3 tablespoons of stock to the sugar it should bubble up and begin to get dark
• Once it starts to get dark add the butter, onions, and chili
• Saute for a bit the liquid will evaporate
• Add another ¼ cup of stock with the shredded garlic, bring to a boil and allow to reduce to a light glaze
• Toss in the lobster tails to get coated in the sauce and to warm through
• Finish with salt and black pepper if needed. My stock is heavily salted so I did not need additional salt
