Garlic Butter Lobster Tail

A succulent lobster tail broiled in a rich garlic butter sauce, perfect for a luxurious yet simple main dish. Served with a squeeze of fresh lemon, it delivers a perfect balance of buttery and savory flavors.

Steps

1. Preheat your broiler to high and position the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source. 2. Using kitchen shears, cut down the center of the lobster shell lengthwise, stopping at the tail fin. Gently lift the lobster meat out of the shell, keeping it attached at the tail end, and rest it on top of the shell. 3. In a small bowl, mix melted butter, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. 4. Brush the garlic butter mixture generously over the lobster meat. 5. Place the lobster tail on a baking sheet and broil for 8-10 minutes, or until the meat is opaque and lightly browned on top. 6. Remove from oven, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve with a lemon wedge.
