❗Ingredients:
4 lobster tails
Salt and pepper, to taste
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
1 tsp fresh thyme, chopped (optional)
1 tsp fresh rosemary, chopped (optional)
Juice of 1/2 lemon
Lemon wedges, for serving
❗Instructions:
1. Prepare the Lobster Tails:
Start by preheating your oven to broil. Using kitchen shears, cut the top of each lobster shell carefully, stopping just before the tail fin. Gently open the shell and lift the lobster meat, resting it on top of the shell for an elegant presentation. Season the lobster meat with salt and pepper to enhance its natural flavor.
2. Make the Garlic Herb Butter Sauce:
In a small bowl, mix together melted butter, minced garlic, fresh parsley, thyme, rosemary (if desired), and lemon juice. Stir until everything is well combined, creating a fragrant, flavorful sauce.
3. Brush and Broil:
Place the prepared lobster tails on a baking sheet and generously brush each tail with the garlic herb butter sauce, saving a little for later. Broil for about 8-10 minutes, or until the lobster meat turns opaque and develops a light golden-brown top. Midway through cooking, brush the lobster with more butter for that extra burst of flavor.
4. Serve and Enjoy:
Once broiled to perfection, remove the lobster tails from the oven, drizzle with any remaining garlic herb butter, and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve hot, accompanied by lemon wedges for an added zesty touch.
Helpful Tips:
Watch Closely: Lobster cooks fast, so keep an eye on it while broiling to prevent overcooking.
Spice it Up: If you like a little heat, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to your garlic herb butter sauce.
Perfect Sides: Serve your lobster with steamed asparagus, creamy garlic mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad to complete the meal.
