Elegant Broiled Lobster Tails with Garlic Lemon Butter
🛒 Ingredients (Servings: 2)
  • 2 lobster tails (5–6 oz each)
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • Lemon wedges and chopped parsley for garnish

🍳 Instructions:

1️⃣ Prep the Lobster Tails:
🔪 Using kitchen shears, cut down the center of each shell lengthwise. Gently pull the meat out and rest it on top of the shell, keeping it attached at the base. This “piggyback” method helps the meat cook evenly and look beautiful.

2️⃣ Make the Garlic Lemon Butter:
🧄 In a small bowl, combine melted butter, garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well.

3️⃣ Brush and Season:
🖌️ Place lobster tails on a foil-lined baking sheet. Generously brush the meat with the garlic lemon butter, reserving some for serving.

4️⃣ Broil the Lobster:
🔥 Position the oven rack about 5–6 inches from the broiler. Broil lobster tails for 8–10 minutes or until the meat is opaque and slightly browned, basting halfway through.

5️⃣ Serve and Garnish:
🍋 Drizzle with remaining butter and garnish with fresh parsley and lemon wedges. Serve immediately with your favorite sides.
