Lobster Tails and Seasoning

Method

Cooking Instructions

1

Prepare the Lobster Tails

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) if broiling. Use kitchen shears to cut the top shell of the lobster tails down the center, exposing the meat. Gently pull the meat out and lay it on top of the shell.

2

Make the Garlic Butter

In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Stir in lemon juice, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

3

Broil or Fry the Lobster Tails

Brush the lobster meat generously with the garlic butter mixture. Place the lobster tails on a baking sheet and broil for 12-15 minutes, or until the meat is opaque and slightly browned. If frying, heat oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook the tails for 8-10 minutes, brushing with garlic butter frequently.

4

Garnish and Serve

Remove the lobster tails from the oven or skillet. Sprinkle chopped parsley over the top and serve with additional lemon wedges and the remaining garlic butter for dipping.
