My kid has decided she loves lobster tail. Oh, whoa is me, I have to add lobster tail to the meal rotation. What a rough life.
Broiled lobster tail
Ingredients
4 lobster tails
1/4 cup salted butter
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1/2 tsp smoked paprika
1 pinch cayenne pepper
Directions
Preheat the oven to broil. Rinse the defrosted lobster shells. Set the oven rack such that lobster tails placed on a baking sheet would be 4-5 inches away from the broiler.
Butterfly the lobster tails. Using kitchen shears, cut down the center of the shell lengthwise, starting from the end opposite the tail fins, continuing down until you reach the tail but without cutting the tail. You want to cut through the top shell, but not the bottom. Use your thumbs and fingers to spread open the shell on top, then gently pull the lobster meat upward, separating it away from the bottom shell, leaving the end attached to the tail fin intact. Slightly push together the empty shell underneath and place the row of meat on top. Place the butterflied lobster tail onto the baking sheet.
In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, garlic, lemon juice, paprika, and cayenne. Brush the butter mixture over the lobster meat.
Broil the lobster tails until the meat is opaque and lightly browned, about 1 minute per ounce of individual tail.
