Ingredients
- 4 lobster tails 5-6 oz each
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley chopped
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- Pinch of salt
- Dash of black pepper
- 1 ½ tbsp olive oil
- 1 ½ tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter
Instructions
- Grab your shears and snip the top of each lobster tail, cutting through some meat. Flip and crack the shell open gently with your thumbs.
- Loosen the flesh, remove the vein (if present), and lay it back on the shell, open-faced.
- Whip up a marinade with parsley, garlic, Dijon, olive oil, lemon juice, a pinch of salt, and a dash of pepper.
- Preheat your oven to broil (high heat) and position the rack for distance from the broiler.
- Place butterflied tails in a dish, brush with marinade, and dot with butter pieces.
- Broil for 10-11 minutes (adjust based on size) until lobster meat is opaque white (145°F internal temp).
- Drain pan drippings, add remaining butter, simmer, and drizzle over lobster or serve for dipping.
