Description
These baked lobster tails are smothered with garlic butter and lemon juice then cooked to perfection in just 15 minutes for tender, juicy results!
Ingredients
•
8 small lobster tails
•
1/2 cup salted butter, melted
•
1/2 tablespoon garlic powder
•
1 teaspoon dried parsley
•
1 pinch seafood seasoning (such as Old Bay®), or to taste
•
1/2 lemon, juiced
Directions
1
Gather ingredients, and preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
2
Cut lobster tails straight down the middle using kitchen shears.
3
Butterfly the lobster meat by pulling it through the opening and laying the meat on top of the shell; place in an oven-safe baking dish.
4
Combine melted butter, garlic powder, and parsley in a bowl. Mix together with a spoon.
5
Season lobster tails with seafood seasoning and pour melted butter mixture on top until each tail is completely covered. Squeeze lemon juice over top.
6
Bake in the preheated oven until shells are bright red and meat is opaque, 12 to 15 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the centers should read 140 to 145 degrees F (60 to 63 degrees C).
