🦞 Lobster Tails with Garlic Herb Butter – A Luxurious Seafood Delight! 🍽️
Ingredients:
4 lobster tails
4 tbsp butter, melted
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 tsp smoked paprika
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp dried thyme
1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
For the Garlic Herb Butter Sauce:
4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 tsp chopped fresh parsley
1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
Instructions:
1️⃣ Prepare the Lobster Tails: Using kitchen scissors, cut down the center of each lobster shell lengthwise. Gently pull the meat upward, resting it on top of the shell while keeping it attached at the base.
2️⃣ Season the Lobster: In a bowl, mix melted butter, garlic, lemon juice, paprika, salt, black pepper, oregano, and thyme. Brush this mixture generously over the lobster meat.
3️⃣ Broil to Perfection: Preheat the oven’s broiler to high. Place the lobster tails on a baking sheet and broil for 8-10 minutes, or until the meat is opaque and slightly golden. Baste with more butter halfway through cooking.
4️⃣ Make the Butter Sauce: While the lobsters cook, combine melted butter, garlic, lemon juice, parsley, and red pepper flakes in a small bowl. Stir well.
5️⃣ Serve & Enjoy: Drizzle the garlic herb butter over the hot lobster tails and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve with extra sauce on the side for dipping!
