Lobster Tails: Melt-in-Your-Mouth Perfection!
Enjoy tender lobster tails infused with garlic butter, lemon juice, and a hint of smoked paprika for a melt-in-your-mouth experience.
Ingredients
- 4 5-oz Frozen lobster tails
- 1/4 cup Salted butter
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 2 tsp Lemon juice
- 1/2 tsp Smoked paprika
- 1 pinch Cayenne pepper
Instructions
- Thaw the lobster tails overnight in the refrigerator or in cold water, changing water every 30 minutes.
- Melt butter and stir in crushed garlic, lemon juice, smoked paprika, and cayenne pepper.
- Cut down the top center of the lobster tail shell with shears, stopping before the fin, and spread open.
- Gently score the top of the lobster meat lengthwise a few times to help butter penetration.
- Generously brush the butter mixture over the exposed lobster meat.
- Cook lobster tails by broiling (3-5 mins per side), grilling (4-5 mins per side), air frying (400°F/200°C for 5-7 mins), or poaching.
Notes
- Always thaw lobster tails completely before cooking for the best texture.
- Use fresh garlic for the most intense flavor.
- Adjust cayenne pepper to your spice preference.
- For broiling, keep a close eye to prevent overcooking. Allergens: Shellfish, Milk, Soybeans. Nutrition information is an estimate, calculated automatically. Values vary with brands, substitutions and portion sizes.
