Garlic Butter Broiled Lobster Tails

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Lobster Tails:

• Preheat the broiler on high.

• Using kitchen shears, carefully cut through the top shell of each lobster tail lengthwise.

• Gently lift the meat out of the shell and rest it on top, keeping it attached at the base.

• Place the prepared tails on a foil-lined baking sheet.

2. Make the Garlic Butter Glaze:

• In a small bowl, combine melted butter, minced garlic, lemon juice, black pepper, smoked paprika (if using), and a pinch of salt. Mix well.

3. Broil the Lobster:

• Brush the lobster meat generously with the garlic butter mixture.

• Broil on the top rack for 8–10 minutes, or until the meat is opaque and lightly charred.

• Halfway through, baste the lobster with more garlic butter for extra flavor.

4. Serve:

• Drizzle with any remaining butter from the pan.

• Garnish with chopped parsley or chives.

• Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.

Enjoy your rich, buttery, and perfectly broiled lobster tails! 🦞🧈
