Ingredients
Scale
- 4 lobster tails (about 6 oz each)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Using kitchen scissors, cut through the top shell of each lobster tail without cutting all the way through.
