Here’s a delicious recipe for lemon garlic lobster tails:Ingredients:
- 4 lobster tails
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- Zest of 1 lemon
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Lemon wedges, for serving
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven broiler to high.
- Using kitchen shears, cut the top shell of each lobster tail lengthwise down the middle, stopping at the tail. Be careful not to cut all the way through the tail.
- Carefully lift the lobster meat from the shell, keeping it attached at the base of the tail. Place the meat on top of the shell.
- Arrange the lobster tails on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil or a baking dish.
- In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter, minced garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, chopped parsley, salt, and pepper.
- Brush the garlic lemon butter mixture generously over the lobster tails, making sure to coat both the meat and the shells.
- Place the baking sheet or dish under the preheated broiler and broil for 8-10 minutes, or until the lobster meat is opaque and lightly browned, and the internal temperature reaches 140°F (60°C).
- Keep an eye on the lobster tails to prevent burning, as broilers can vary in intensity.
- Once cooked, remove the lobster tails from the oven and let them rest for a minute.
- Serve the lemon garlic lobster tails hot, garnished with additional chopped parsley and lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the lobster meat.
