Treat yourself to restaurant-style luxury at home with these Garlic Butter Lobster Tails—tender, juicy meat bathed in a luscious garlic herb butter. Perfect for special occasions or a romantic dinner!
Ingredients
-
2 lobster tails (5–6 oz each)
-
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
-
3 cloves garlic, minced
-
1 tsp lemon juice
-
1 tsp paprika (for color)
-
Salt & pepper, to taste
-
Optional: Fresh parsley & lemon wedges for garnish
Instructions
-
Prep lobster: Using kitchen scissors, cut the top shell lengthwise to expose the meat. Gently lift it out over the shell without detaching.
-
Season: In a bowl, combine melted butter, garlic, lemon juice, paprika, salt, and pepper. Brush mixture generously over the lobster meat.
-
Bake: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Place lobster tails on a baking tray and bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the meat is opaque and slightly golden.
-
Serve: Drizzle with extra garlic butter and garnish with parsley and lemon wedges.
Notes
-
Don’t overbake—lobster becomes tough when overcooked.
-
Add a splash of white wine or a pinch of chili flakes to the butter for extra flavor.
-
Pair with roasted veggies, mashed potatoes, or pasta for a full meal.
