Butter Garlic Lobster Tail Recipe 🍽️
Ingredients:
4 lobster tails
½ cup melted unsalted butter
4 cloves garlic, finely minced
1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
Juice from 1 lemon
Salt and pepper, to taste
Lemon wedges, for serving
Instructions:
Prepping the Lobster Tails: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Take kitchen shears and gently cut through the top of the lobster shell, stopping just at the base. Carefully lift the lobster meat out, keeping it attached at the bottom, and place it on top of the shell.
Creating the Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, lemon juice, salt, and pepper until well blended.
Coating the Lobster Tails: Arrange the lobster tails on a baking sheet. Using a brush, generously coat the lobster meat with the garlic butter mixture, making sure it's fully covered.
Baking the Lobster Tails: Place the baking sheet into the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes or until the meat becomes opaque and is thoroughly cooked. If you prefer a slightly charred top, switch the oven to broil mode for the last 2-3 minutes.
Serving: Once cooked, remove the lobster tails from the oven and serve immediately with extra garlic butter and lemon wedges on the side.
Pro Tips:
Add a sprinkle of paprika or red pepper flakes before baking for a spicy kick.
Pair with your favorite side dishes like roasted vegetables or creamy mashed potatoes.
Watch the broiling time closely to prevent overcooking and drying out the lobster.
