Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 pieces lobster tails
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter Melted
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped For garnish
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- to taste Salt and pepper
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure even cooking.
- Using kitchen scissors, cut along the top shell of the lobster tail to expose the meat. Gently pull the lobster meat out and lay it atop the shell.
Cooking
- In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add minced garlic, parsley, and lemon juice, stirring until fragrant (about 2 minutes). Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Place the lobster tails on a baking sheet lined with foil. Generously brush the garlic herb butter mixture over the lobster meat, reserving a bit for later.
- Bake the lobster tails in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes until the meat is opaque and firm. For a golden finish, broil for the last couple of minutes.
- Drizzle the remaining garlic herb butter over cooked lobster tails and garnish with additional parsley. Serve with lemon wedges.
Notes
Avoid overcooking to maintain tenderness. For a spicy kick, add red pepper flakes to the butter. If the butter sauce appears rustic, it adds charm to the dish!
