Ingredients
4 each 6-ounce Lobster Tails
4 cloves Fresh Garlic
1 large Organic Lemo
4 tablespoons Ghee or Grass-Fed Butter
2 tablespoons Fresh Parsley
1 teaspoon Smoked Paprika
Sea Salt to taste
Black Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Butterfly the lobster tails by cutting down the center of the top shell toward the tail fins, being careful not to cut through the meat
- In a small glass bowl, whisk together the melted ghee, minced garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper
- Coat the exposed lobster meat with the lemon garlic mixture using a pastry brush
- Preheat your broiler to high and place the baking sheet on the middle rack. Broil for about 8 to 10 minutes until the shells turn red and the meat becomes opaque
- Garnish with chopped parsley and an extra squeeze of lemon juice
Notes
Use freshly minced garlic for the best flavor.
Avoid using the microwave to reheat leftovers; instead, use a gentle steaming method.
