Indulge in the sumptuousness of Cowboy Butter Lobster Tails, ideal for celebrating special moments or treating yourself to a luxurious dinner at home!
Ingredients:
4 lobster tails
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
Salt and pepper, to taste
Lemon wedges, for serving
Instructions:
Prepare the Lobster Tails:
Preheat your oven to broil.
Using kitchen shears, cut along the top of each lobster shell from the front to the base without cutting through the tail. Gently lift the lobster meat and lay it over the shell, keeping it attached at the base.
Make the Cowboy Butter:
In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, smoked paprika, lemon juice, red pepper flakes, chopped parsley, salt, and pepper. Stir until well mixed.
Season the Lobster:
Place the prepared lobster tails on a baking sheet.
Generously brush the lobster meat with the cowboy butter mixture, ensuring even coverage on all sides.
Broil the Lobster Tails:
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and broil for 8-10 minutes, or until the lobster meat is opaque and thoroughly cooked. Baste the lobster tails with additional cowboy butter halfway through the cooking process.
Serve:
Remove the lobster tails from the oven and let them rest for a minute.
Serve with lemon wedges and extra cowboy butter for dipping.
Tips:
Fresh Lobster: For optimal flavor, use fresh lobster tails.
Grilling Option: These lobster tails can also be grilled over medium-high heat for a delightful smoky taste.
Pairings: Complement your lobster tails with garlic mashed potatoes or a crisp green salad for a complete meal.
Enjoy these decadent Cowboy Butter Lobster Tails and elevate your dining experience! 🍋🧈🦞
