Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon dried parsley
• 1 pinch seafood seasoning (such as Old Bay®), or to taste
• 8 small lobster tails
• 0.5 lemon, juiced
• 0.5 cup salted butter, melted
• 0.5 tablespoon garlic powder

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Combine melted butter, garlic powder, and parsley in a bowl. Mix together with a spoon.

Step 2

Season lobster tails with seafood seasoning and pour melted butter mixture on top until each tail is completely covered. Squeeze lemon juice over top.

Step 3

Bake in the preheated oven until shells are bright red and meat is opaque, 12 to 15 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the centers should read 140 to 145 degrees F (60 to 63 degrees C).

Step 4

Gather ingredients, and preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

Step 5

Cut lobster tails straight down the middle using kitchen shears.

Step 6

Butterfly the lobster meat by pulling it through the opening and laying the meat on top of the shell; place in an oven-safe baking dish.
