Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 2 lobster tails
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 lemon, cut into wedges
Instructions
- Preheat the broiler on high.
- Using kitchen shears, cut the top of the lobster shell down to the tail, then use a knife to cut through the meat, stopping at the tail fin. Gently pull the meat upward and lay over the shell, leaving the meat attached at the fin.
- In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Stir in the chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper.
- Place the lobster tails on a baking sheet and brush the garlic butter mixture over the meat.
- Broil the lobster tails for 10-12 minutes, or until the meat is opaque and slightly browned on top.
- Serve the lobster tails with lemon wedges and the remaining garlic butter sauce for dipping. Enjoy!
