Ingredients
  

For the Lobster Tails
  • 4 pieces lobster tails, thawed
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. With a sharp knife, carefully cut the tops of the lobster tails lengthwise.
  3. In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
  4. Place the lobster tails on a baking sheet, flesh side up. Generously brush the garlic herb butter all over the lobster meat.
Cooking
  1. Bake the lobster tails for about 12-15 minutes, or until the meat is opaque and cooked through.
  2. Remove from the oven and drizzle any remaining garlic herb butter over the lobster tails. Serve with lemon wedges and maybe a side of garlic bread.

Notes

Don’t overcook the lobster! Keep an eye on them to avoid rubbery texture. You can add red pepper flakes for a spicy kick. Pair with a fresh salad or roasted vegetables.
