Garlic Butter Lobster Tails

Nothing beats a fresh lobster tail. I love surf and turf or anything that involves lobster. Also, it’s so easy and quick to make. I love that lobster doesn’t even need much seasoning because its already so delicious by itself. I made these lobster tails recently and served them along side a grilled ribeye steak with creamed spinach and roasted potatoes. We were craving a steakhouse style dish! I thought it would be so delicious to bake them in a delicious garlic butter sauce instead of dipping each bite of lobster in a bowl full of butter. We absolutely loved it! This is such a classic way to eat lobster but it was so tasty, so I had to share with you all! Enjoy!

Ingredients:

• 4 lobster tails – about 1.5lbs (Cut in half vertically down the middle)
• 7 tablespoons of butter
• 1 tablespoon of fresh minced garlic
• 1/2 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon of fresh minced parsley
• 1/4 teaspoon of red pepper flakes

Directions:

1. Set oven to 400°F.
2. Cut lobster tails in half (the long way) directly down the middle.
3. In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Once butter is melted sauté garlic until golden.
4. Next add parsley, red pepper flakes and lemon juice into the sauce pan. Mix. Turn off heat.
5. Set raw lobster tails shell side down (meat facing you) in a baking dish.
6. Pour butter mixture directly over lobster tails.
7. Bake uncovered for about 15-20 minutes OR until internal temperature reaches 145°F.
