Description
These tender lobster tails are brushed with a rich, savory garlic butter and broiled to perfection. With a touch of fresh parsley and a squeeze of lemon, this dish makes for a luxurious and delicious seafood feast.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 lobster tails
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Lemon wedges for serving
Instructions
- Preheat the broiler.
- Using kitchen shears, cut the top of the lobster shell down to the tail, being careful not to cut the meat.
- Gently loosen the lobster meat from the shell, keeping it attached at the base. Brush the lobster meat with melted butter.
- In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, and pepper. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the lobster tails.
- Broil the lobster tails for 8-10 minutes, or until the lobster meat is opaque and cooked through. The lobster should easily flake when pierced with a fork.
- Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for added freshness.
Notes
- For added flavor, you can add a pinch of red pepper flakes or smoked paprika to the garlic butter mixture.
- You can also baste the lobster tails with additional melted butter during broiling for an even richer taste.
- For perfectly cooked lobster, make sure not to overcook the tails, as lobster meat becomes tough when overdone.
