Last but not least, do not forget about the garlic butter that's used as a dipping sauce for your lobster.

You can simply add butter to a sauce pan and add whole peeled garlic cloves as the butter melts the garlic flavor gets infused into the butter then feel free to remove the garlic cloves. You can also feel free to add minced garlic to the butter if you go this route you do not have to remove the minced garlic from the butter.
