Indulge in these luscious Cowboy Butter Lobster Tails, perfect for a special occasion or a luxurious meal at home!
Ingredients:
4 lobster tails
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
Salt and pepper to taste
Lemon wedges, for serving
Instructions:
Prepare the Lobster Tails:
Preheat your oven to broil.
Using kitchen shears, cut down the top of the lobster shells lengthwise to the base, but do not cut through the tail. Gently pull the lobster meat up and over the shell, keeping it attached at the base.
Make the Cowboy Butter:
In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, smoked paprika, lemon juice, red pepper flakes, chopped parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine.
Season the Lobster:
Place the prepared lobster tails on a baking sheet. Brush the lobster meat generously with the cowboy butter mixture, making sure to coat all sides.
Broil the Lobster Tails:
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and broil for about 8-10 minutes, or until the lobster meat is opaque and cooked through. Baste the lobster tails with additional cowboy butter halfway through cooking.
Serve:
Remove the lobster tails from the oven and let them rest for a minute. Serve with lemon wedges and extra cowboy butter on the side for dipping.
Tips:
Fresh Lobster: For the best flavor, use fresh lobster tails.
Grilling Option: These lobster tails can also be grilled over medium-high heat for a smoky flavor.
Pairings: Serve with a side of garlic mashed potatoes or a fresh green salad for a complete meal.
Enjoy these flavorful Cowboy Butter Lobster Tails for a truly decadent dining experience! 🍋🧈🦞
