Broiled Lobster Tail Feast

Ingredients

• 4 lobster tails (about 6 oz each)

• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

• 3 cloves garlic, minced

• 1 tbsp lemon juice

• 1 tsp lemon zest

• 1/2 tsp paprika

• 1/2 tsp dried parsley

• 1/4 tsp salt

• 1/4 tsp black pepper

• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

• Lemon wedges (for serving)

Instructions

Prepare the Lobster Tails:

1. Preheat your broiler to high. Position the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source.

2. Using kitchen scissors, cut down the top of the lobster shells lengthwise, from the base to the tip. Gently pull the meat out, keeping it attached at the base, and rest it on top of the shell.

Make the Garlic Butter Mixture:

1. In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest, paprika, dried parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix well.

Broil the Lobster Tails:

1. Brush the lobster meat generously with the garlic butter mixture.

2. Place the lobster tails on a broiler-safe pan or baking sheet, meat side up.

3. Broil for 6-8 minutes, or until the lobster meat is opaque and slightly browned. Watch closely to avoid overcooking.
