Broiled Lobster Tails

I think lobster tails are my all time, absolute favorite meal.

Have you ever asked people what their dream meal would be? Mine is lobster - no question about it.

This recipe will show you exactly how to broil the tails so they come out perfect every time.

Broiled lobster is amazing. It has just a hint of grill taste which obviously isn't there when you boil it (although you can't go wrong with boiled lobster either).

I serve the broiled tails with caesar salad and a bit of pasta with alfredo sauce. Altogether it seems like the perfect meal.

Don't be afraid of cooking lobster. Like all of our recipes, it isn't difficult at all. Give it a try.

Ingredients:
1 to 2 6-8 ounce lobster tails for each serving
melted butter
paprika for color (optional)
lemon wedges

Directions:

Fresh lobster is always best, but if you only have access to raw, frozen tails they will still taste great. Just thaw them thoroughly and dry them off with paper towels.

With kitchen shears, cut away the thin under shell lining of the tail. To keep tails from curling while they broil, bend each one backward toward the shell to crack it, or insert a skewer lengthwise between the shell and the meat.

Preheat the broiler.

Place the tails on a rack in the broiler with the shell side up and about 3 inches below the heat element. Broil for 5 minutes. Turn the tails so the flesh side is up, brush the top of the lobster meat with melted butter, sprinkle with paprika, and broil for 6-8 more minutes, depending on the size of the tail.

Serve the delectable broiled lobster with extra melted butter in small bowls and lemon wedges. Drizzle the tails with lemon juice and dip into the butter. Heaven!

Here's my dream dinner:
