1️⃣ Prepare the Lobster

Using kitchen scissors, carefully cut through the top shell of each lobster tail. Gently lift the lobster meat and place it on top of the shell while keeping it attached at the base.

2️⃣ Make the Garlic Butter

In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest, parsley, salt, and black pepper.

3️⃣ Season the Lobster

Generously brush the lobster meat with the garlic butter mixture, reserving a little for serving.

4️⃣ Bake or Broil

Arrange the lobster tails on a baking tray.

Bake in a preheated oven at 220°C (425°F) for 10–12 minutes, or until the lobster meat is opaque and fully cooked.

5️⃣ Finish and Serve

Remove from the oven and drizzle the remaining herb butter over the lobster tails before serving.
