Ingredients
Instructions
Preheat your oven to broil on high and position the rack in the upper third or center of the oven.
Butterfly the lobster tails by cutting down the center of the top shell with kitchen scissors, crack the ribs on the underside, and lift the meat to sit on top of the shell.
In a small bowl, mix parsley, garlic, Dijon mustard, salt, pepper, olive oil, and lemon juice to make the marinade.
Place butterflied lobster tails in a roasting pan, pour the marinade over them, and dot with butter pieces.
Broil for 10-11 minutes, until lobster meat is opaque and reaches 145°F at the thickest part.
Transfer lobster tails to a serving platter and sprinkle with fresh parsley.
Pour drippings into a saucepan, add remaining butter, simmer gently, and serve as garlic lemon butter sauce over lobster tails.
