Ingredient

Lobster

  • 4 lobster tails (5–6 oz each), thawed

Butter

  • ¼ cup cold butter, cut into thin slices

Seasoning

  • Salt, to taste

  • Pepper, to taste

Serving

  • Lemon wedges


Directions

1. Prep the Lobster Tails Preheat the broiler. Using kitchen scissors, cut a 2‑inch‑wide rectangle from the top shell of each lobster tail; loosen and remove that section. Pull back the edges of the remaining shell to release the meat from the sides. Gently pry the meat loose from the bottom shell, keeping the tail end attached. Place prepared tails in a foil‑lined 15×10×1‑inch pan.

2. Add Butter Arrange the thin butter slices over the exposed lobster meat.

3. Broil Broil 5–6 inches from the heat until the meat is opaque, 5–8 minutes.

4. Season & Serve Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately with lemon wedges.
