  • to taste Salt and pepper
  • 4 tablespoons butter, melted

  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon thyme Fresh or dried
  • 1 teaspoon rosemary Fresh or dried

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to the broil setting.
  2. Using a sharp knife, butterfly each lobster tail by cutting down the center of the shell.
  3. Gently loosen the meat from the shell and pull it upward, keeping it attached at the base. This creates an attractive presentation.
Making the Garlic Herb Butter
  1. In a small bowl, whisk together melted butter, minced garlic, paprika, thyme, rosemary, and chopped parsley until smooth and well combined.
  2. Evenly spread the garlic herb butter over the exposed lobster meat.
Broiling
  1. Place the lobster tails on a baking sheet and broil in the oven for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the meat becomes opaque and lightly browned.

Notes

Serve the lobster tails on a bed of basil-infused rice for added flavor. Pair with garlicky asparagus or a vibrant green salad.
