Instructions

Preheat the broiler in your oven. Thaw the lobster tails if they are frozen. Using kitchen scissors, cut through the top part of the lobster shell, towards the tail, and then make a cut to create a one-inch rectangle shape.
Remove the lobster shell to expose the lobster meat. Arrange the lobster tails on a baking sheet or tray, and add a dash of cayenne pepper to the flesh.
Melt the butter in the microwave for about 30 seconds. Add the garlic, parsley, and lemon juice to the melted butter, and stir to combine well.
Drizzle and spread the garlic butter mixture over the lobster, reserving some for dipping.
Broil the lobster tails in the oven for about 5–8 minutes, or until the meat turns opaque and is cooked through. Serve immediately with the remaining garlic butter and lemon slices.
