    Sauces to serve with lobster tails

    Even though lobster tails are delicious by themselves, serving with your favorite dipping sauce never hurts! Here are our favorite sauce suggestions:

    • melted garlic butter - dipping lobster meat in melted butter is the best way to serve lobster! There's something about the seafood and butter combination that is to die for.
    • lemon wedges/lemon juice - although lemon wedges aren't technically a sauce, it's a great way to add extra flavor! The tanginess of the lemon is the perfect accompaniment to the sweetness of the lobster.
    • truffled mayonnaise - truffled mayonnaise or aioli enhances seafood recipes, burger recipes, steak recipes, etc. Most grocery stores sell truffled mayonnaise or you can make your own!
    • avocado cream sauce - using ingredients like yogurt, lime juice and fresh herbs, it creates a creamy, flavorful sauce that’s delicious with lobster meat!

    These sauces are excellent with crab legs, crab cakes, salmon and many other kinds of seafood dishes!
