Ingredients
- 4 lobster tails
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 lemon, cut into wedges for serving
Feel free to substitute fresh herbs with dried ones if necessary; just remember to use less as dried herbs are more potent. This recipe is all about embracing the flavors you love, much like how my mother taught me to cook with my heart.
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Using kitchen shears, carefully cut the top of the lobster shells lengthwise, and gently pull the meat out slightly, resting it on top of the shell.
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Add the chopped parsley, thyme, and lemon juice to the butter mixture. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Place the lobster tails on the prepared baking sheet and brush generously with the garlic herb butter sauce.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the lobster meat is opaque and tender.
- Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
As you cook, remember that the kitchen is a place of creativity and joy. Don’t rush the process; let the aromas guide you, just as they did in my childhood home.
