Preparation:

Step 1: Prepare the Butter Poaching Sauce
In a saucepan over low heat, add 1/4 cup of water and a few cubes of butter. Stir until the butter is fully melted and incorporated. Slowly add more butter cubes, stirring constantly to keep the mixture smooth and prevent it from separating. Continue until all the butter is melted, creating a rich, creamy poaching liquid.

Step 2: Season the Lobster Tails
Once the butter sauce is ready, place the lobster tails in the pan. Season them evenly with salt and black pepper to enhance the lobster’s natural sweetness and allow the flavors to meld in the poaching process.

Step 3: Poach the Lobster
Allow the lobster tails to poach gently in the butter sauce over low heat. This process should take about 6-8 minutes, and it’s crucial to keep the heat low to maintain the tender texture of the lobster. Turn the tails occasionally to ensure they cook evenly, until the lobster meat becomes opaque and reaches the desired tenderness.

Step 4: Plate and Garnish
Once the lobster tails are cooked to perfection, carefully remove them from the butter sauce and arrange them on serving plates. Sprinkle freshly chopped chives over the lobster for a pop of color and a mild onion flavor that complements the richness of the butter.

Step 5: Serve with Lemon Wedges
Add lemon wedges on the side to provide a zesty contrast to the buttery richness of the lobster. Squeezing fresh lemon over the lobster just before eating will brighten the flavors and make the dish even more delightful.
