Perfectly Cooked Lobster Tails

Elevate your dining experience with this easy and delicious recipe for Perfectly Cooked Lobster Tails from Carmelita Seafood. These succulent lobster tails are broiled to perfection, infused with a buttery garlic lemon sauce that enhances their natural sweetness.

Ingredients:

  • 4 Lobster Tails (from Carmelita Seafood)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
  • Lemon wedges, for serving

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Lobster Tails:

  • Preheat your oven to broil and position the oven rack 6-8 inches from the heat source.
  • Using kitchen shears, carefully cut down the top shell of each lobster tail, stopping just before the tail fin. Gently lift the lobster meat through the slit, leaving the end attached to the shell. Rest the meat on top of the shell.

2. Make the Garlic Butter Sauce:

  • In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, paprika, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Stir until well mixed.

3. Brush the Lobster Tails:

  • Place the prepared lobster tails on a baking sheet. Generously brush the garlic butter sauce over the lobster meat, reserving some sauce for serving.

4. Broil the Lobster Tails:

  • Broil the lobster tails for 8-10 minutes, or until the meat is opaque and slightly browned on the edges. Baste the tails with more garlic butter halfway through cooking.

5. Serve:

  • Remove the lobster tails from the oven and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve with lemon wedges and the remaining garlic butter sauce on the side.

Tips:

  • Keep an eye on the lobster tails while broiling to prevent overcooking. The meat should be tender and juicy.
  • Pair these lobster tails with your favorite sides, such as steamed vegetables, rice, or a crisp salad, for a complete meal.

Enjoy the rich, buttery flavor of Carmelita Seafood’s lobster tails, perfect for a special occasion or a luxurious dinner at home.
