Instructions
- Preheat broiler to high.
- Set lobster tails on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- 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. If you notice a dark vein or any grit, rinse and remove.
- Carefully pull shell from the meat and pull the sides of the shell open.
- Place two lemon wedge slices between the meat and the shell so that the meat is sitting on the lemon.
- Use a small bowl and mix the spices.
- Sprinkle the lobster meat with the spices.
- Place small pats of butter on the lobster meat to equal 2 Tbs.
- Place the baking sheet in oven on an upper middle rack.
- Cook for 8-10 minutes on Hi Broil. The lobster meat will appear opaque when it is cooked through.
- While the lobster is cooking, gently melt the remaining butter (4 Tbs) in a small saucepan on the stove top over medium heat. Remove from the stove and pour into a small ramekin when melted.
- When the lobster is done (the meat will turn opaque and the shell will turn red). Remove and serve immediately with the melted butter.
Notes
- PRO TIP: Scatter sprigs of Rosemary around the baking sheet before putting lobster in to broil. Perfumes the meat slightly and makes the kitchen smell nice.
- Thaw the tail completely first.
- The shell on the tail is going to make some terrible cracking sounds when you open it.
- Lobster is delicate, use a gentle touch removing the meat.
- Offer your guests little bowls of melted butter for dipping.
- Lobster meat has a reddish/pink tinge. This is normal.
- The lobster shell will turn a bright red when cooked. The uncooked shell is kind of gray green.
