Notes
Thaw lobster tails overnight in the refrigerator to ensure even cooking and the best texture.
Butterfly the lobster tails by cutting down the middle of the top shell to allow better seasoning penetration and faster cooking.
Avoid overcooking by broiling just until the meat is opaque and tender, with an internal temperature of 140°F.
