Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

  2. Add the minced garlic and stir for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, but not browned.
Baking
  1. Place the lobster tails in a baking dish and drizzle the garlic butter over the meat.
  2. Season with salt and pepper, and optionally sprinkle parsley on top.
  3. Bake in the oven for about 15-18 minutes until the meat is white and opaque.
Serving
  1. Remove from the oven and squeeze fresh lemon juice over the lobster tails.
  2. Serve with extra lemon wedges and enjoy!

Notes

Don’t worry if your butter sauce looks a little lumpy; that’s part of the charm! Avoid overcooking the lobster to maintain tenderness. For a bit of kick, add paprika on top.
