Instructions
1. Preheat oven to broil on high heat (500°F).
2. Butterfly lobster tails by cutting down the center of the shell.
3. Season lobster meat with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
4. Mix melted butter with minced garlic, lemon juice, and herbs.
5. Brush the lobster meat with the melted butter mixture.
6. Place lobster tails on a baking sheet, shell side down.
7. Position the oven rack 4-5 inches from the heat source.
8. Broil lobster tails for 8-10 minutes until the meat is opaque.
9. Check that the internal temperature reaches 140°F.
10. Remove lobster tails from the oven and let them rest for 3-5 minutes.
11. Serve with extra melted butter and lemon wedges.
12. Pair with sides like mashed potatoes, asparagus, or salad.
13. Avoid overcooking to prevent a tough and rubbery texture.
14. Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley, thyme, or rosemary.
15. Optionally, make a garlic butter sauce by simmering butter with garlic, lemon, and herbs.
Notes
Brush the lobster tails generously with garlic butter to keep them moist and flavorful while broiling.
Keep a close eye on cooking time based on the size of the tails to prevent them from becoming tough and rubbery.
Let the lobster meat rest for a few minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute for a tender bite.
