Ingredients
Lobster Ingredients
- 2-4 pieces Lobster tails Freshness is key! Look for bright shells and plump tails.
- 1/4 cup Unsalted butter Adds richness and flavor. Substitute with coconut oil for a dairy-free option.
- 2 cloves Garlic Minced to infuse a lovely aroma and depth.
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice Brightens the flavors and adds a refreshing zing.
- 1 teaspoon Paprika For a subtle warmth and color.
- Sea salt and black pepper To taste, enhances the natural flavors.
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat the oven broiler to high and position the rack about 6 inches from the heat source.
- Using kitchen scissors, cut down the center of the lobster shell, stopping just before the tail fin. Gently pull apart the shell to expose the meat.
- In a small bowl, melt the butter and mix in the minced garlic, lemon juice, paprika, salt, and pepper.
Cooking
- Place the lobster tails on a lined baking sheet (meat side up) and generously brush them with the garlic butter mixture.
- Place them under the broiler and cook for 10-15 minutes or until the lobster meat is opaque and slightly browned.
Serving
- Drizzle with the remaining garlic butter, add a squeeze more lemon, and serve hot.
Notes
For a festive touch, sprinkle fresh chopped parsley or chives on top. For a spicy kick, add red pepper flakes to the garlic butter mixture. Pair with garlic mashed potatoes or a crisp green salad.
