Garlic Butter Broiled Lobster Tails
“An elegant dish that’s surprisingly simple to make, perfect for impressing guests or indulging yourself!”

Ingredients:

4 lobster tails (6-8 oz each)
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 tsp paprika (optional, for color)
Salt and black pepper, to taste
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Lemon wedges (for serving)

Instructions:

1 Prepare the Lobster Tails:

Using kitchen shears, carefully cut through the top shell of each lobster tail lengthwise.
Gently spread the shell apart and lift the lobster meat, placing it on top of the shell for presentation.
Pat the lobster meat dry with a paper towel.
2 Make the Garlic Butter:

In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, minced garlic, lemon juice, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine.
3 Season the Lobster:

Place the prepared lobster tails on a baking sheet lined with foil.
Brush the garlic butter mixture generously over the lobster meat, ensuring every part is coated.
4 Broil the Lobster Tails:

Preheat the broiler on high.
Place the lobster tails under the broiler, about 6-8 inches away from the heat source.
Broil for 8-10 minutes, or until the lobster meat is opaque and slightly golden on top.
Baste with the garlic butter halfway through for extra flavor.
5 Garnish and Serve:

Remove the lobster tails from the oven, garnish with freshly chopped parsley, and serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for a burst of freshness.
