Lobster Tail

Method

Preparation of Herb Butter

  1. 1

    Make the Herb Butter

    In a small bowl, mix the softened unsalted butter with chopped parsley, chives, minced garlic, lemon zest, and paprika. Stir until well combined, then set aside.

Cooking Lobster Tails

  1. 2

    Prepare the Lobster Tails

    Preheat your grill or oven to medium-high heat. Using kitchen scissors, cut the top shell of each lobster tail down the center, exposing the meat. Remove any membrane if present.

  2. 3

    Season the Lobster

    Season the lobster meat with salt, black pepper, and lemon juice, ensuring it is evenly coated.

  3. 4

    Grill or Bake

    Place the lobster tails on the grill or in the oven, and cook for about 10-12 minutes or until the meat is opaque. Baste with the prepared herb butter halfway through cooking.

  4. 5

    Serve

    Once cooked, remove the lobster tails from the heat. Drizzle with remaining herb butter and serve immediately.
