Ingredients

2 (6 ounce) lobster tails
2 slices lemon, plus more for garnish
2 teaspoons butter
1 pinch dried parsley
1 pinch granulated garlic

Directions

1 Fill a large pot with warm water. Attach the sous vide cooker to the pot; set the temperature to 130 degrees F (54 degrees C).
2 Cut underside of lobster tail with kitchen shears and remove fins; carefully lift out meat.
3 Place 1 lemon slice in the bottom of a resealable plastic bag. Place lobster tail meat over lemon and spread with 1 teaspoon butter. Season with a pinch of parsley and garlic. Repeat with remaining lobster tail, lemon, butter, parsley, and garlic using a second resealable plastic bag.
4 Use the water immersion method to remove all air from the bags and place into the pot, securing with tongs so they are fully immersed.
5 Cook in the preheated water for 30 minutes. Remove the bags from the pot, open, and move lobster tails to a warm plate.
