Method

  2. 2

    Pat the lobster tails dry, season with salt and pepper, and place them on a baking sheet.

    Bake the lobster tails for 12–15 minutes, until the meat is pink and fully cooked.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: The lobster meat is pink and cooked through.

  5. 5

    Bake the chips for 25–30 minutes, turning halfway through, until golden and crispy.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: The chips are golden and crisp. Turn them halfway through for even browning.

    Add the minced garlic and cook for 1–2 minutes until fragrant, then remove from heat.

  8. 8

    Stir in the lemon zest and lemon juice, season with salt and pepper, and set aside.

  9. 9

    For the lemon mayonnaise, combine the room‑temperature mayonnaise with lemon zest and lemon juice in a bowl.

    Season the mayonnaise with salt and pepper to taste and mix until smooth.
