Ingredients
  

  • 2 6 oz Lobster Tails
  • 2 Tbs Melted Butter
  • 1 Tbs Minced Garlic
  • Lemon wedges

Instructions
 

  • Thaw and rinse Lobster Tails
  • With a kitchen scissors cut the round top side of the Lobster Tails lengthwise.
  • Begin the cut with the bottom blade right under the shell, it's ok if you cut into the meat a bit.
  • Proceed the cut down the center all the way to the base of the tale.
  • Grab each side of the shell and gently pry away the shell away from the meat.
  • Carefully push out the meat of the Lobster Tail through the slit and place the meat on top of the shell with the end still attached to the shell.
  • In a small bowl mix the melted butter and garlic.
  • Brush the butter over the Lobster meat.
  • Place Lobster Tails on broiling pan.
  • Broil on high, placing the oven rack so that when the lobster tails are on it, they are about 4 to 5 inches away from the broiler. Broil for 6 minutes until meat is firm and opaque.
  • Cooking times vary depending on the size of your Lobster Tail, make sure you keep an eye on the lobster tail so it doesn't burn! See notes below.
  • Serve with drawn butter and lemon wedges for the juice.
  • Enjoy!

Notes

Cooking time for lobster is roughly 1 minute per ounce. So a 6 oz lobster takes about 6 minutes to broil. Cook until internal temp is 140 degrees Fahrenheit.
