Prepare the Lobster: If your lobster is frozen, make sure to thaw it completely first. Once ready, remove the meat from the shells and cut it into bite-sized chunks.

Cook the Lobster: Heat the olive oil or butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté the lobster chunks for about 2-3 minutes until they turn opaque. Add salt and pepper to taste, then set the lobster aside.

Then, pour in the seafood stock and let it simmer for 2 minutes. Add the fresh lemon juice, thyme, and a pinch of red pepper flakes. Allow it to simmer for one more minute to mix all the flavors.
-
Combine: Gently return the lobster to the skillet. Coat it well in the tasty sauce. Let everything simmer together for another 1-2 minutes, adjusting the seasoning if needed.
-
Finish and Serve: Place the lobster medallions on a serving platter. Drizzle the buttery sauce over the top. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges for an extra zing!
