How to Make Creamy Garlic Butter Lobster Tails
  1. Preheat the oven to 500°F (200°C).
  2. Cut through the top shell of each lobster tail using kitchen scissors, stopping just before the end.
  3. Extract the lobster meat gently from the shell, keeping it attached at the base.
  4. Whisk together melted butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, pepper flakes, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
  5. Brush the garlic butter mixture generously over each lobster tail.
  6. Broil the lobster tails for 6-8 minutes, or until the meat is opaque and reaches an internal temperature of 140-145°F.
  7. Serve immediately with the reserved garlic butter for dipping.
