Lemon Garlic Lobster Tails
Ingredients:
- 4 lobster tails
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1 tsp lemon zest
- 1 tsp paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- Lemon wedges (for serving)
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Prepare the Lobster Tails:
- Using kitchen scissors, cut the top of each lobster tail shell lengthwise down the middle, stopping just before the tail fin.
- Gently pull the shell apart and use your fingers to lift the lobster meat slightly, so it sits on top of the shell.
- Make the Lemon Garlic Butter:
- In a small bowl, combine melted butter, minced garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Brush and Bake:
- Place the lobster tails on a baking sheet. Brush the lemon garlic butter generously over the lobster meat.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the lobster meat is opaque and cooked through.
- Serve:
- Remove from the oven and drizzle any remaining garlic butter over the lobster tails. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges.
Tips:
- For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the garlic butter for a bit of heat.
- Serve with drawn butter, a fresh salad, or garlic bread for a complete meal.
Enjoy your flavorful lemon garlic lobster tails!
