Step 1
In a large deep skillet, add 4 tablespoons olive oil and garlic slices on medium heat.
Step 2
When the oil is hot, add the lobster tails, face down. Toss in the 3 tablespoons of butter, and crushed red pepper flakes. Cook the lobsters for about 2 minutes, then flip them over. And continue to cook them for an additional 5 minutes, turning them often.
Step 3
Toss into the same skillet the chopped tomato and freshly chopped parsley and sea salt. Turn back on the heat. Stir and cook the tomato, for about 1 to 2 minutes.
Step 4
Add into the skillet, additional 2 tablespoons of butter, and the remaining 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil, along with the cayenne pepper, and paprika. Pour in a splash of chicken broth, and add in some tomato paste.
Step 5
Cover with a lid, and simmer on low heat for about 2 to 3 minutes.
Step 6
Toss back in the chunks of lobster meat and simmer for additional 2 minutes, until the lobster meat is fully cooked and turned white. Turn off the heat.
Step 7
Taste the sauce, and adjust the seasonings with salt and pepper flakes to your preference. The sauce is now ready to serve over your favorite pasta or rice.
