It’s Friday! Today I will show you how I make my lobster tails with garlic butter. If you are abstaining from meat on Fridays, you should definitely try this dish. This is a quick dish to make. I’d say less than 30 minutes, including prep time. It only took 8 minutes to broil my lobster! It was delicious!

This also pairs well with my Asian Style Garlic Noodle recipe! Check it out: https://youtu.be/sFj3UFPCPns

Ingredients:

• 2 Lobster Tails (4 oz)
• 2 tbs unsalted butter
• 2 garlic cloves minced
• 3 tsp. Fresh Italian Parsley chopped
• 3 tsp. fresh lemon juice (about half a small lemon)
• Salt & Pepper to taste
• Paprika for pop of color

Directions:

1. Heat your oven to broil if it takes awhile to heat up.
2. With a pair of kitchen shears, snip off the small fins called swimmerets.
3. Flip your lobster tail over and cut through the shell stopping at the base of the tail.
4. Crack the shell open and loosen the meat from the shell. I like to slip my finger on the bottom to loosen the meat.
5. Carefully lift the meat, keeping it attached to the base. Press the two sides of the shell together and lay the meat on top of the shell. 
6. Discard the “vein running through the center of the lobster tail.
7. Give your lobster tail a quick rinse.
8. For the butter, melt butter, add your garlic and let the garlic infuse in the butter.
9. Add lemon juice and discard the seeds.
10. Add your parsley.
11. Season lobster tail with salt, pepper, and paprika.
12. Spoon as much of the butter you want on your lobster tail and broil until lobster is cooked.
13. Broil your lobster until cooked. My lobster was only 4 oz each and it took about 6 minutes under the broiler. The tail was bright red and the meat was white. Lobster should have an internal temperature between 143-145. Do not over cook or your lobster will be rubbery.
