Lobster tail with garlic butter is a classic seafood dish that has been enjoyed for centuries. The dish is believed to have originated in coastal regions where fresh lobster is abundant, such as New England in the United States and the Maritime provinces in Canada. The succulent lobster tail is typically broiled or grilled to perfection, then topped with a rich and flavorful garlic butter sauce. Chefs and seafood enthusiasts have long praised the dish for its simplicity and exquisite taste. The key to a perfect lobster tail with garlic butter lies in the quality of the ingredients. Fresh, high-quality lobster tails and aromatic garlic are essential for creating a dish that truly shines.

The dish is often served alongside a medley of seasonal vegetables or a bed of fragrant rice, allowing the flavors of the lobster and garlic butter to take center stage.
