Ingredients
-
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
-
½ cup olive oil
-
10 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
-
2 tablespoons Old Bay seasoning
-
2 cups dry white wine or vermouth
-
1 lemon, thinly sliced
-
6–8 lobster tails (4–6 oz each), shells cut lengthwise and meat loosened
Instructions
-
Add the butter, olive oil, sliced garlic, Old Bay seasoning, white wine, and lemon slices to a 5–7 quart slow cooker.
-
Cover and cook on LOW for 3 hours, allowing the garlic to soften and infuse the sauce.
-
Nestle the lobster tails into the garlic butter mixture, meat side up. Spoon some of the sauce over each tail.
-
Cover and cook on LOW for 45–60 minutes, until the lobster meat is opaque and tender.
-
Spoon additional garlic butter sauce over the lobster before serving.
-
Serve directly from the slow cooker set to warm, with crusty bread for dipping.
Notes
-
Slice the garlic instead of mincing for a mellow, sweet flavor.
-
Avoid overcooking — lobster is done as soon as the meat turns opaque.
-
Serve with extra lemon wedges and plenty of napkins.
