Notes
- Make sure you buy quality lobster tails. Fresh lobster Tails are best for broiling.
- Frozen lobster tails are great to boil right from frozen, however you can defrost them and cook in a different way.
- Make sure when removing the flesh of lobster tail from the shell to leave some flesh intact.
- Coating the lobster meat in the garlic sauce mixture adds so much flavor compared to a salt and pepper seasoning.
- Make sure you get the sauce deep between the shells and meat as well.
- When broiling the lobster tail, make sure the heat element is about 6 inches away from your lobster meat.
- As soon as the shells turn pink and the lobster meat is completely opaque, the lobster tail is cooked.
- Drench in melted butter sauce right away and have extra for serving.
- If cooking more than one lobster tail, make sure they're all the same size so they cook evenly.
- Avoid over drying the lobster.
