Ingredients
Scale
- 4–6 ounces Lobster Tails (fresh or frozen)
- 4 tbsp Unsalted Butter
- 3 cloves Fresh Garlic (minced)
- 2 tbsp Fresh Lemon Juice
- 2 tbsp Fresh Parsley (chopped)
- Salt and Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat Your Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) for even cooking.
- Prepare the Lobster Tails: Using kitchen scissors, carefully cut down the top shell of each lobster tail without cutting through the meat.
- Create Your Garlic Butter: In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Add minced garlic and sauté for about one minute until fragrant. Stir in lemon juice and season with salt and pepper.
- Brush on the Flavor: Open lobster tails like a book, gently pull out the meat, and rest it on top of the shell. Generously brush the garlic butter mixture over each tail.
- Bake to Perfection: Place lobster tails in a baking dish and bake for approximately 12-15 minutes until the meat is opaque and tender.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven and sprinkle with fresh parsley. Drizzle with any remaining garlic butter sauce before serving.
