Ingredients

Main Ingredients

2 pieces lobster tails Fresh or thawed frozen lobster tails.
4 tablespoons butter Unsalted butter is preferred.
4 cloves garlic, minced Fresh garlic adds the best flavor.
1 tablespoon lemon juice Freshly squeezed lemon juice.
to taste Salt and pepper Adjust seasoning according to preference.
for garnish Fresh parsley Chopped, for topping.

Method

Preparation

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Cut the lobster tails lengthwise to expose the meat.

Cooking

In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Stir in the lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
Brush the garlic butter mixture generously over the lobster meat.
Place the lobster tails on a baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the meat is opaque and cooked through.
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot.

Notes

Keep an eye on the lobster while it bakes; overcooking can dry it out. Adding lemon zest enhances flavor. If fresh garlic isn't available, garlic powder can be used in lesser amounts.
