How to Broil a Lobster Tail image

Basic directions on how to broil the tail only. The finished product looks like it does when served in a restaurant. (I cut this from a magazine years ago). Have a look at the photos as a guide.

Categories     Lobster

Time 10m

Yield 1 tail, 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 ounces lobster tails
1/2-1 tablespoon butter
garlic salt
pepper
paprika

Steps:

  • Line a broiler pan with foil pressing it into the grooves of the pan.
  • Cut a line down the center of the top of the shell (not the underside of shell), stopping just before the tail fins.
  • Pull shell apart leaving it intact, and gently pull lobster meat out, cradling it on top of the now opened shell.
  • Using a sharp knife, make a small slit down the top of the meat and spread it by running your finger through the lobster meat.
  • Fill crevice with butter, then sprinkle with garlic salt, pepper and paprika.
  • Broil 3-4 inches from heat for approximately 1 minute per ounce.
  • (ie: a 4 oz tail would take about 4 minutes).
  • Watch carefully.
