Lobster Tail
Lobster Tail is a luxurious seafood dish where the tail of the lobster is split, seasoned with butter, garlic, lemon juice, and herbs, then broiled or baked until tender and juicy. The meat becomes sweet, succulent, and slightly crisp on top, making it perfect for a special occasion meal. Often served with melted butter, vegetables, or rice, it’s simple yet elegant.
Ingredients
- 4 lobster tails (5 to 6 ounces each), thawed
- 1/4 cup cold butter, cut into thin slices
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Lemon wedges
Instructions
- Preheat broiler. Using kitchen scissors, cut a 2-in.-wide rectangle from the top shell of each lobster tail; loosen from lobster meat and remove.
- Pull away edges of remaining shell to release lobster meat from sides; pry meat loose from bottom shell, keeping tail end attached. Place in a foil-lined 15x10x1-in. pan. Arrange butter slices over lobster meat.
- Broil 5-6 in. from heat until meat is opaque, 5-8 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve lobster tails with lemon wedges.
