Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat broiler to high.
  • In a large pan, add 4 tbsp butter and garlic, cook on medium low, stirring occasionally to prevent burning as you prepare lobster.
  • Set lobster tails on a baking sheet or in an oven safe dish.
  • With sharp kitchen scissors or a knife, carefully cut the top of the lobster tail shell down to the tip of the tail, avoiding the meat.
  • Devein and remove any grit if needed.
  • Carefully pull shell down, so meat looks like it is sitting on top of shell and open.
  • Mix spices in a small bowl.
  • Sprinkle with spices.
  • Add small pats of butter along the lobster tail.
  • Place in oven on an upper middle rack.
  • Let cook until meat is opaque and white, about 8-10 minutes.
  • After 6 Minutes, add 3/4 of the butter and garlic from pan to lobster, drizzling over lobster tails.
  • Remove and serve immediately with rest of garlic and butter.
