Prep time: 10 minutesCook time: 15 minutesServes: 2
Ingredients
2 lobster tails
1/2 cup unsalted butter
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
Salt and pepper to taste
Lemon wedges for serving
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. Using kitchen scissors, cut through the top shell of the lobster tail down the center, stopping at the base of the tail. Loosen the meat and pull it slightly above the shell, ensuring it remains attached at the base.
3. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
4. Stir in the lemon juice, lemon zest, and parsley. Season the butter sauce with salt and pepper to taste.
5. Place the lobster tails on a baking sheet. Brush generously with the garlic butter sauce, reserving some for serving.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the lobster meat is opaque and cooked through.
7. Remove from oven, drizzle the remaining garlic butter sauce over the lobster tails, and garnish with additional parsley if desired.
8. Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
