Ingredients
Scale
- 4 lobster tails
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 6 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt, to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
- 1 lemon, cut into wedges (for serving)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F (use convection if desired).
- Using kitchen scissors, make a slit down the back of each lobster tail without cutting through the shell.
- Gently pull the lobster meat up so it sits on top of the shell.
- Combine melted butter and minced garlic, then brush over the lobster meat.
- Sprinkle with salt and optional parsley.

Notes
Ensure not to overcook the lobster; it should be removed once the meat turns opaque. Let lobsters rest for 15 minutes outside the fridge before baking.
