Butter-Broiled Lobster Tails

As much as I complain about learning to cook for one, there is one advantage.  I can afford to fix things I really like for dinner that I couldn't afford if I were cooking for four or five people.  Lobster tails fall into this category.  I really love this recipe!

2 lobster tails

4 Tbsp melted butter

1 garlic clove, minced 

1 Tbsp lemon juice

Parsley, chopped

Salt and pepper

Preheat your oven to broil

Using kitchen shears, cut the top shell lengthwise to expose meat.  Gently lift meat above the shell.

Mix butter, garlic, lemon juice, salt and pepper.

Brush lobster meat with mixture.  Broil 5 - 7 minutes until opaque and slightly golden.

Sprinkle with Parsley.  Serve with extra butter on the side.  

Our local grocery store, Schnucks, has been selling two lobster tails for $14 around each holiday, so I make it a point to buy a few and keep them frozen to enjoy anytime I'd like.  How about that?  A delicious lobster dinner for about the same as I'd spend on dinner from a fast-food restaurant.
