Ingredients:

• 🌶️ 2 guajillo peppers (no seeds or stems)
• 🧅 1/4 onion
• 🧈 1 stick of butter (melted and cooled)
• 🧄 3 cloves of garlic
• 🌿 1 teaspoon Mexican oregano
• 🌿 1 pinch of cumin
• 🦞 2 lobster tails
• 🧂 Salt (to taste)

Instructions:

1. Prep the Guajillo Peppers:

   • Remove the seeds and stems from the guajillo peppers.
   • Place the guajillo peppers and onion into a small pot.
   • Fill the pot with enough water to cover the ingredients.
   • Bring the pot to a boil and let simmer for about 10 minutes, or until the peppers and onion are tender.

2. Prepare the Sauce:

   • Once softened, drain the water from the pot and transfer the peppers and onion to a blender.
   • Add the melted and cooled butter, garlic cloves, Mexican oregano, and a pinch of cumin to the blender.
   • Blend the mixture until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning with salt to taste.

3. Cook the Lobster Tails:

   • Preheat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat.
   • Generously coat the back of each lobster tail with butter.
   • Pour part of the blended guajillo sauce over the lobster tails, ensuring they're well-coated.
   • Turn the heat to low and allow the lobster tails to cook in the sauce for about three minutes, cooking gently and evenly.

4. Finish and Serve:

   • Once the lobster tails are cooked through, they should be opaque and tender.
   • Serve immediately, drizzling any remaining sauce over the lobster for an extra punch of flavor.

Cooking Tips:

• Adjust the spice level by adding more or fewer guajillo peppers.
• Pair this dish with a light salad or steamed vegetables to complement the rich flavors of the sauce.
