Total Cook Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 4 (or just 2) lobster tails
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1 tomato, sliced (and seasoned with salt and pepper)
  • A few leaves of butter lettuce
  • 8 slices of cooked bacon
  • 4 slices of bread, toasted

Sweet and Smoky Mayo Ingredients:

  • ⅓ cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
  • 2 teaspoons honey
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika

Directions:

Pat the lobster tails dry with a paper towel. Heat skillet over medium heat and add olive oil and butter. Once the butter is melted, add the garlic clove and then add the lobster, tossing to coat. Cook the lobster, flipping occasionally, until it is just opaque and bright red, about 4 to 5 minutes. Immediately assemble the BLT’S. Spread the mayo on both sides of the toast. Add the lettuce, tomato, the bacon and the lobster tails. Serve and devour!

Sweet and Smoky Mayo Directions:

Whisk all ingredients together until smooth. Store in a sealed container in the fridge for a few days.
