Step-by-Step Instructions
Let’s dive right into making this mouthwatering dish! First, you’ll want to preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). If you’re using a grill instead, you can preheat it to medium-high heat. While that’s warming up, prepare your lobster tails. Carefully cut the top shell of the lobster tail down the center, using kitchen shears or a sharp knife, but make sure not to cut all the way through. Gently pull the shell apart and loosen the flesh while keeping it attached at the base. This step is crucial for presentation and allows the butter to seep in beautifully. This is when I always get excited—seeing that vibrant meat peeking out! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
