How to Broil Lobster Tails

1. Take each lobster tail and using kitchen shears, cut the top of the shell all the way to the tail. Open up the shell to reveal the lobster meat, then carefully separate the lobster meal from the shell. Pull the meat up over the shells, so the meat is sitting on top.
2. Add a disc of the compound butter to the top of each lobster tail and place on a baking sheet.
3. Place the rack in the upper ⅓ section of your oven, then turn it on broil. Broil the lobster tails for 4-6 minutes (or 1-2 minutes per ounce) until the meat is opaque and white in the center. It should measure 140°F using a thermometer.
4. Serve with melted butter and sliced of lemon on the side.
