Ingredients
  

Ingredients:
  • 2 pieces lobster tails
  • 1 piece lemon cut into wedges, divided
  • 6 tablespoons butter divided
  • Kosher salt (to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Method
 

Method:
  1. Thaw the lobster tails by placing them in the refrigerator for 8-10 hours or submerge in cold water for 30-60 minutes.
  2. Once thawed, cut through the top shell of the lobster tails with a sharp knife, being careful not to cut the meat underneath.
  3. Boil a large pot of water with kosher salt and add the lobster tails. Boil for 5-7 minutes until the meat is opaque.
  4. While the lobster cooks, melt 4 tablespoons of butter and mix in garlic powder, smoked paprika, Old Bay seasoning, and white pepper.

  6. Serve the lobster with squeezed lemon juice and remaining melted butter on the side.

Notes

  • Experiment with different seasonings like chili powder for a spicy kick.
