How To Butterfly A Lobster Tail

In this recipe, I butterfly the lobster tails — which is a very easy process. Here’s how:

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

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

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!
