Ingredients

4 6oz lobster tails
1 tsp salt (optional)
1 pinch cracked pepper (optional)
4 oz diced bacon
2 tbsp unsalted butter
6 cloves garlic
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup parmesan cheese
1 small shallot

Steps

Heat the oven to 425 F.
Cook the diced bacon in a large skillet over medium heat for 5 minutes, then transfer it to a plate.
Melt the butter in the skillet, then cook the shallot and garlic for 2 minutes.
Stir in the cream and Parmesan, and simmer the sauce for 3 minutes.
Split the lobster tails lengthwise, season with salt and pepper, and place them cut side up in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish.
