Broiled Lobster Tails
Why have I gone 27 years without ever attempting to make lobster tails at home? It’s so easy!! In my head, you only order lobster on special occasions, such as your birthday or Valentine’s Day, because it’s so expensive! The surf and turf plate at most restaurants is the most expensive thing on the menu, so I never order it. Without further ado, here’s a super simple recipe for Broiled Lobster Tails! All you need are fresh lobster tails, butter, and garlic seasoning!
- 2 fresh lobster tails
- 1 tbs melted butter
- Adam's White Wine and Garlic Butter Seasoning
- 2 tsp clarified butter
- Preheat oven to broil, at or above 500 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Using kitchen shears, carefully insert them between the meat and the shell.
- Slowly cut the shell down the center of the back, leaving the tail in tact.
- Place lobster tails in small foil wrapped pan.
- Add melted butter and seasoning.
- Broil for 10 minutes.
- Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes, spoon butter and drippings from pan over lobster tails.

The lobster tails should be fresh or completely thawed, and never re-freeze the lobster tails once they’ve been thawed (or else you’ll end up with chewy, tough meat). A good tip is to buy them fresh the day that you plan on making them! When using the kitchen shears, I cut about an inch down the lobster tail, then using clean hands, wiggled my fingers between the shell and the meat to loosen it up. Cut slowly, and try not to cut the meat, if you do it’s not big deal. This was the first time I had ever done this, and I actually nipped the skin on the first one, it still tasted amazing! The clarified butter is used for extra dipping sauce, if you don’t have any on hand, simply melt down regular butter and remove all the fat that floats on top. (That’s what I did! Ohhh la la, still fancy!)
