Luxurious lobster tails baked in rich garlic butter with hints of lemon and parsley.
4 lobster tails
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
Juice of 1 lemon
Salt and pepper to taste
Lemon wedges for serving
Prepare the lobster tails: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Using kitchen shears, carefully cut down the top of the lobster shell, stopping at the base. Gently pull the lobster meat upward and rest it on top of the shell while still attached at the base.Make the garlic butter: In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
Brush the lobster tails: Place the prepared lobster tails on a baking sheet. Generously brush the garlic butter mixture over the lobster meat, ensuring it’s fully coated.
Bake the lobster tails: Bake the lobster tails in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the meat is opaque and cooked through. If desired, switch to broil for the last 2-3 minutes to get a slightly charred finish.
Serve: Remove from the oven and serve immediately with extra garlic butter and lemon wedges on the side.
For a spicier version, add red pepper flakes. Serve with roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes for a complete meal.
