This garlic butter lobster tail is a simple yet elegant dish that features tender lobster meat drenched in a rich garlic butter sauce. Each bite is filled with the sweet and delicate taste of lobster, perfectly balanced by the savory garlic and melted butter.
Ingredients
- 4 lobster tails
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Lemon wedges for serving
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your broiler to high.
- Prepare the Lobster Tails: Using kitchen shears, cut the top shell of the lobster tails lengthwise, stopping just before the tail fin. Gently pull apart the shell to expose the meat.
- Make the Garlic Butter: In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes. Stir in lemon juice and parsley.
- Broil the Lobster: Place the lobster tails on a baking sheet, meat side up. Brush generously with the garlic butter mixture and season with salt and pepper. Broil for about 8-10 minutes or until the lobster meat is opaque and cooked through.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and drizzle with any remaining garlic butter. Serve with lemon wedges on the side.
