Ingredients
– 2 large lobster tails
– 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon lemon juice
– 1 teaspoon paprika
– ½ teaspoon salt
– ¼ teaspoon black pepper
– Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
– Lemon wedges (for serving)
Instructions
Creating the Easy Broil Lobster Tail is straightforward if you follow these steps:
1. Preheat the Broiler: Set your oven’s broiler to high heat. Allow it to preheat while you prepare the lobster tails.
2. Prepare the Lobster Tails: Using kitchen scissors, carefully cut the top shell of each lobster tail down the center. Do not cut all the way through—just enough to expose the meat beneath.
3. Prepare the Broiling Mixture: In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, lemon juice, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
4. Brush the Lobster: Gently pull the lobster meat away from the shell using your fingers, being careful not to detach it completely. Brush a generous amount of the prepared butter mixture onto the lobster meat.
5. Place on a Baking Sheet: Arrange the prepared lobster tails on a baking sheet with the meat side facing up. Pour any remaining butter mixture over the tails.
6. Broil the Lobster Tails: Place the baking sheet on the top rack of the oven under the broiler. Broil for 10-15 minutes or until the lobster meat is opaque and slightly charred. (Cooking time may vary based on the size of the tails.)
7. Garnish and Serve: Once cooked, remove the lobster tails from the oven. Sprinkle with chopped parsley for a touch of color. Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
Following these steps, you’ll create a captivating dish that is equal parts delicious and visually stunning, perfect for any seafood lover!
