Garlic Butter Lobster Tails

Instructions

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