Description

Indulge in succulent lobster tails baked in rich garlic butter, perfect for special occasions or a luxurious meal at home.


Ingredients

  • 4 Lobster Tails (weighing 5-8 ounces each)
  • 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter (Kerrygold recommended)
  • 2 cloves Garlic (finely minced)
  • 2 tablespoons Fresh Lemon Juice
  • 2 tablespoons Fresh Parsley (or chives)
  • 1 teaspoon Kosher Salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper (freshly ground)


Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a baking dish.
  2. Rinse the lobster tails under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
  3. Using a sharp knife, carefully cut down the center of the shell without piercing the meat.
  4. Place the lobster tails in the baking dish, meat side up.
  5. In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat.
  6. Add the minced garlic, fresh lemon juice, kosher salt, and freshly ground black pepper to the melted butter. Stir well to combine.
  7. Pour the garlic butter mixture evenly over the lobster tails.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the lobster meat is opaque and firm.
  9. Remove from the oven, sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley, and serve immediately.

Notes

For best results, use fresh ingredients. Pair with sides like roasted asparagus or mashed potatoes for a complete meal.
