Ingredients
Lobster Tails
- 4 lobster tails
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Garlic Herb Butter
- 4 tablespoons butter, melted
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon thyme (fresh or dried)
- 1 teaspoon rosemary (fresh or dried)
- 1 tablespoon parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Prepare the Lobster: Preheat your oven to the broil setting. Using a sharp knife, butterfly each lobster tail by cutting down the center of the shell. Gently loosen the meat from the shell and pull it upward, keeping it attached at the base, allowing for an attractive presentation and better flavor absorption.
- Make the Garlic Herb Butter: In a small bowl, whisk together melted butter, minced garlic, paprika, thyme, rosemary, and chopped parsley until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Broil the Lobster: Evenly spread the garlic herb butter over the exposed lobster meat. Place the lobster tails on a baking sheet and broil in the oven for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the meat becomes opaque and lightly browned, indicating it is perfectly cooked.
Notes
- Ensure not to overcook the lobster to keep the meat tender and juicy.
- You can substitute fresh herbs with dried herbs if necessary but adjust quantities to taste.
- Serve immediately after broiling with lemon wedges for added zest.
- Use clarified butter for a richer flavor and higher smoke point if preferred.
