Ingredients

  • 4 lobster tails
  • ¼   cup melted butter
  • ¼ cup cooking oil  
  • 1 tablespoon garlic, minced 
  • 2-3 tablespoons lemon juice 
  • 1   teaspoon paprika 
  • ¼ pinch of Cayenne pepper , optional
  • 1-2 teaspoons minced thyme , chopped  
  • salt and pepper to taste  

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to broil.    
  • In a small bowl, combine all the ingredients: butter, oil, garlic, lemon juice, paprika, cayenne pepper, minced thyme, salt, and pepper. Mix until fully combined. Set aside.   
  • Using kitchen sears or scissors, cut the top of the lobster shell lengthwise down the center but no further to the tail. Cut the shell again at an angle away from the center on both sides downwards to loosen meat from the shell, keeping the fin end attached; lift the meat and lay over the shell.   
  • Brush the lobster tail meat with the olive oil-garlic mixture making sure all part is covered with the spice blend.    
  • Place in a 9x13 casserole dish or baking sheet. Cover with a plastic wrap and let it marinate in the fridge for about 25-30 minutes.   
  • Place in preheated oven on the upper-middle rack.   
  • Broil lobster for about 8-10 minutes or until flesh is opaque and white.   
  • Remove and serve immediately.
