step by step
Method
- Step 1
Prep the lobster tails
- Cut across the top of each lobster tail with kitchen shears, but not all the way through.
- Cut off the lobster fingers (the small legs) like a nail salon.
- Make a small X-shaped cut and loosen the meat from the shell, trying to open the shell without breaking it.
- Push the lobster meat up so it sits on top of the shell.
- Step 2
Season the lobster
- Drizzle with olive oil and add a pinch of salt.
- Sprinkle the dry seasoning (onion powder, garlic pepper, pepper, salt) on top.
- Don't forget to season the bottom of the meat too.
- Step 3
Bake
- Place the seasoned lobster tails in a 400°F (200°C) oven.
- Bake for 10 minutes (internal temp 135-140°F).
- Step 4
Make the butter dip
- Add melted butter, paprika, garlic pepper, parsley or cilantro, and minced garlic.
- Squeeze in half a lemon.
- Add grated Parmesan on top and mix everything together.
- Step 5
Finish in the oven
- Spoon the butter dip over the lobster tails.
- Add a little more butter on top.
- Return to the oven for 5 more minutes.
- Serve and enjoy.
