Method
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Prepare the lobster tails: Using kitchen shears, cut down the top center of each lobster tail shell, stopping before the tail fin. Gently pull the shell apart and lift the meat out, keeping it attached at the base. Place the meat on top of the shell.
- Make the garlic lemon butter sauce: Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in the juice of half the lemon and the salt. Remove from heat.
- Brush the lobster meat generously with the garlic lemon butter sauce. Place the prepared lobster tails on the baking sheet.
- Broil for 8-12 minutes, or until the lobster meat is opaque and cooked through. Cooking time will vary depending on the size of the tails.
- Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve immediately with lemon wedges from the remaining half of the lemon.
Notes
For a richer flavor, you can add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the butter sauce. If you don't have fresh parsley, dried parsley can be used as a substitute.
