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!
