Method
Cooking Directions
- 1
Prepare the Lobster
Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Using kitchen shears, carefully cut the top of the lobster tails down the center, stopping just before the tail fin. Gently pull the lobster meat out of the shell and lay it on top, keeping it attached at the base.

Make the Butter Mixture
