Ingredients
  

  • 4 Lobster Tails large

For The Marinade

  • 3/4 stick Unsalted Butter melted
  • 1 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1 tbsp Old Bay Seasoning
  • 1 tsp Lemon Juice freshly-squeezed

Instructions
 

Butterfly the Lobster Tails

  • Using kitchen shears, cut down the top of the lobster shell. The lobster should be shell-side up. Gently pull apart each half of the shell. Slide your finger under the bottom of the lobster meat; push upwards, allowing the lobster meat to rest on top of the lobster shell.

Preparing the Broiled Lobster Tail

  • Preheat oven to a High Broil.
  • Mix together all marinade ingredients. Place lobster tails on a baking sheet. Liberally brush the marinade on top of the lobster tails.
  • Broil for roughly 1 minute per ounce of lobster. For example, if your lobster is 8 oz, you'd broil for 8 minutes.
  • Serve with melted butter and enjoy!
