Instructions
- Preheat broiler to 450.
- Using sharp kitchen shears, cut shell from top to tail, leaving tail intact.
- Carefully lift the entire lobster out of the shell, keeping the tail meat intact. Close shell and rest meat on the closed shell.
- For each lobster tail, season liberally with kosher salt, white pepper and paprika. Brush with butter.
- Place on baking sheet lined with aluminum foil.
- Broil just until meat turns pink, about 7-10 minutes, depending on size
Notes
- Figure on 4-6 ounces of cleaned and trimmed lobster tail per person.
- Clarified butter can be made ahead and reheated just before serving.
- Lobster is done when the meat is opaque and slightly firm to the touch.
- Nutritional value is based on weight with shell.
