Luxuriously Simple Lobster

In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, lemon juice, and minced garlic. Whisk the mixture together until it’s well blended. Add salt and pepper to taste, making sure the seasoning is evenly distributed. The butter mixture will serve as both a marinade and a basting sauce, infusing the lobster with rich flavors as it bakes.

Step 4: Brush the Lobster with the Butter Mixture

Generously brush the lobster meat with the butter mixture. Make sure to cover all exposed parts of the lobster, as this will ensure even seasoning and a rich, buttery taste. Reserve some of the butter mixture for basting during cooking and possibly for dipping after the lobsters are done.

Step 5: Bake the Lobster Tails

Place the lobster tails on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup. Bake the lobster tails for 10-12 minutes or until the meat becomes opaque and firm to the touch. The cooking time may vary slightly depending on the size of the lobster tails, but you’ll know they’re ready when the meat is white, tender, and cooked through.

Step 6: Garnish and Serve

Once out of the oven, garnish with fresh parsley to add a pop of color and freshness to the dish. You can also drizzle any remaining butter mixture over the top for extra richness. Serve the lobster tails immediately, with a side of melted butter for dipping if you wish.
