Ingredients
Scale
Seafood
- 4 lobster tails
Seasoning
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon thyme, fresh or dried
- 1 teaspoon rosemary, fresh or dried
- 1 tablespoon parsley, chopped
Butter Mixture
- 4 tablespoons butter, melted
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
Instructions
- Prepare the Lobster: Preheat the oven to broil. Butterfly the lobster tails by cutting down the center of the shell. Loosen the meat carefully and pull it upward, leaving it attached at the base to create a fan-like presentation.
- Make the Garlic Herb Butter: In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, minced garlic, paprika, thyme, rosemary, and chopped parsley until fully combined to create a flavorful herb butter.
