The Best Lobster Tail Recipe Ever!
Description
The Best Lobster Tail Recipe Ever! prepares lobster tails by first butterflying the shell to expose and elevate the meat, allowing for even cooking and maximum flavor exposure. The lobster meat is seasoned with salt and pepper, then brushed with a mixture of melted butter enhanced with minced garlic, paprika, and finely chopped herbs—thyme, rosemary, and parsley. Broiling at high heat cooks the lobster quickly and develops a lightly browned top, sealing in moisture and imparting a delicate herb butter finish. The resulting dish balances tender, juicy seafood with aromatic herbal notes from the butter, suitable for serving with additional melted butter if desired. This recipe preserves the lobster's natural texture and sweetness while adding a subtle savory richness from the herbs and garlic.
Ingredients
- 4 lobster tails
- salt
- black pepper
- 1/4 cup butter melted
- 3 garlic minced, cloves
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon thyme minced
- 1 teaspoon rosemary minced
- 1 teaspoon parsley chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to broil or 500 degrees. Start by preparing the lobster. Using kitchen shears butterfly the tail by cutting down the center. Loosen the meat and pull the lobster meat upward. Salt and pepper the meat and set on a baking sheet.
- In a small bowl whisk together the melted butter, garlic, paprika, thyme, rosemary, and parsley. Spread evenly on each lobster tail.
- Broil the lobster tails for about 8-10 minutes or until the meat is opaque and lightly brown on the top. Serve with melted butter if desired.
