Ingredients
Lobster Tails
- 2 lobster tails
Garlic Butter Sauce
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Lobster Tails: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Using kitchen scissors, cut the top of the lobster shells lengthwise, stopping at the tail. Gently pull the meat out and lay it on top of the shell.
- Make the Garlic Butter: In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Stir in lemon juice, parsley, salt, and pepper.
- Bake the Lobster: Place the lobster tails on a baking sheet and brush generously with the garlic butter mixture. Bake for 20 minutes until the lobster meat is opaque and cooked through.
- Serve: Drizzle any remaining garlic butter over the lobster tails and serve with lemon wedges and your choice of side, such as asparagus or rice.
Notes
- Make sure not to overcook the lobster to keep it tender and juicy.
- Fresh parsley can be substituted with dried parsley if fresh is unavailable, but reduce the quantity by half.
- Adjust garlic amount according to your preference.
- Use unsalted butter to better control the overall saltiness of the dish.
- For a richer flavor, you can add a splash of white wine to the garlic butter sauce.
