Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 500°F (260°C).
  2. Using kitchen scissors, cut through the top shell of each lobster tail, stopping at the last segment.
  3. Gently pull apart the shell and lift the lobster meat out while keeping it attached at the base.
Garlic Butter Sauce

  2. Brush the sauce generously over the lobster meat.
Cooking
  1. Transfer the lobster tails to a baking dish and broil for 6-8 minutes, until the meat is opaque and cooked through.
  2. Remove from oven, drizzle with remaining garlic butter sauce, and serve hot.

Notes

For best results, choose fresh lobster tails and watch them closely while broiling to prevent overcooking.
