LOBSTER TAIL RECIPE

Broil the lobster tails:

Place the baking sheet with the prepared lobster tails into the preheated oven under the broiler. Broil them until the meat is opaque and lightly browned, typically about 1 minute per ounce of individual tail.

For instance, broil 10-ounce lobster tails for approximately 10 minutes, or adjust accordingly based on the size of your lobster tails. Keep a close eye on them to prevent overcooking, as lobster meat can become tough if cooked for too long.

Serve and savor:

Once the lobster tails are beautifully broiled and the meat is opaque throughout, remove them from the oven. Allow them to cool for a moment before serving to ensure optimal flavor and texture.

Garnish with fresh herbs, additional melted butter for dipping, or simply enjoy them as they are, with their natural sweetness and savory buttery goodness.

Variations and Tips:

While this recipe offers a classic approach to broiling lobster tails, here are a few variations and tips to customize your culinary experience:

• Herb Butter: Enhance the butter mixture with finely chopped fresh herbs like parsley, thyme, or chives for added freshness and aroma.
• Grilled Lobster Tails: Instead of broiling, you can grill the prepared lobster tails over medium-high heat for a smoky flavor. Brush them with the butter mixture while grilling for extra flavor.
• Garlic Parmesan Topping: Mix grated Parmesan cheese into the butter mixture for a cheesy crust on top of the lobster tails during broiling.
• Lemon Garlic Butter: Increase the amount of lemon juice and garlic in the butter mixture for a brighter, more pronounced citrus-garlic flavor profile.
