Steps

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare the lobster tail by cutting it down the middle of the shell, taking care not to cut through the meat. Gently pull the meat out of the shell and lay it on top, creating a 'butterfly' effect. In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Brush the garlic herb butter generously over the lobster meat. Place the lobster tail on a baking sheet and bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until the meat is opaque and cooked through. Serve with a lemon wedge for added flavor.

Ingredients

1 lobster tail (about 6 oz) 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted 1 garlic clove, minced 1 teaspoon fresh parsley, chopped 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice Salt and pepper to taste 1 lemon wedge (for serving)
