Broiled Lobster Tails
I make this recipe with the small tails as they are usually less expensive and easier to broil.

Ingredients
8
small lobster tails (about 4 oz each)
4
tbsp
melted butter
1
garlic clove
minced
½
tsp
seafood seasoning
½
lemon
cut into wedges
Instructions
With a pair of kitchen scissors, cut a slit, lengthwise in the top side of the tails
Arrange the tails on a broiler pan, top side up
Carefully spread the tail open slightly along the slit to expose a little of the meat
Heat garlic and butter, covered in microwave oven for 1 minute
Spoon the melted garlic butter along the slits in the tails
Sprinkle the slit side of the tails with the seasoning
Set your oven to low broil and use the middle rack for the tray of lobster
Cook small tails for about 5 minutes, larger tails up to 10 minutes. They are done when the meat is white and opaque.
Garnish with lemon wedges
Notes
Our homemade
seafood seasoning
used in this recipe is similar to the commercially available Old Bay seasoning.
