The lobster tails are broiled to perfection, then drizzled with a rich garlic lemon butter sauce that enhances their natural sweetness.

Ingredients:

• 4 lobster tails (5 to 6 oz each)
• 1 stick (½ cup) unsalted butter, melted
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped (plus more for garnish)
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
• Lemon wedges for serving

Instructions:

1. Prep the Lobster:
   • Preheat the oven to broil (or set it to 500°F if your oven doesn’t have a broil setting).
   • Using kitchen shears, cut down the center of the top shell of each lobster tail to expose the meat. Gently pull the meat up through the slit in the shell, keeping it attached at the base, and lay it on top of the shell.
2. Make the Garlic Lemon Butter Sauce:
   • In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
   • Stir in the lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and chopped parsley. Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat and set aside.
3. Broil the Lobster Tails:
   • Place the prepared lobster tails on a baking sheet, brush them with some of the garlic butter sauce, and sprinkle with a little salt and pepper.
   • Broil the lobster tails for 8-10 minutes, or until the meat is opaque and slightly browned on top. The internal temperature should reach 140°F.
4. Serve:
   • Remove the lobster tails from the oven and drizzle with the remaining garlic lemon butter sauce.
   • Garnish with additional parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side.

Conclusion:

This Lobster Tail with Garlic Lemon Butter Sauce is an impressive yet easy-to-make dish that delivers luxurious flavors. The broiled lobster tails, paired with the rich and tangy garlic butter sauce, make a restaurant-quality meal at home. Perfect for holidays, romantic dinners, or any special occasion!
