Instructions

Ready to make some magic?

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. Carefully cut the lobster tail shells lengthwise with kitchen shears (don’t cut all the way through the bottom).
3. Gently spread the shell and lift the meat slightly, keeping it attached at the base. Place it on top of the shell.
4. Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant (1-2 minutes).
5. Brush the garlic butter generously over the lobster meat.
6. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the meat is opaque and firm.
7. Serve hot, garnished with parsley and a squeeze of lemon.

It’s easier than you think! The rich garlic butter and tender lobster are a match made in heaven.
