Ingredients
Scale
- 4 lobster tails (6–8 oz each)
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Using kitchen scissors, carefully cut down the center of each lobster tail shell to expose the meat without cutting through.
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and sauté the minced garlic until fragrant. Remove from heat and stir in lemon juice and Old Bay seasoning.
- Place the lobster tails on the prepared baking sheet, brush them generously with the garlic butter mixture, ensuring some gets into the shell.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the meat is opaque and reaches an internal temperature of 140°F (60°C).
- Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving and drizzle with any remaining garlic butter.
