Super Easy Butter Herb Lobster Tails

Happy New Year!! How was your New Year’s Eve? Extra special and fun? Mine was spent in my pajamas watching fireworks, drinking champagne and eating these lobster tails!

Now, I find lobster really intimidating to make. Which is really funny because it’s so easy to make! So I found that this is legit the easiest way ever to make lobster tails and YOU CAN DO IT, TOO! 🙂

Here’s how I did it: take your tails and cut them – cut the back of the shells using kitchen scissors and pull the meat up (don’t be shy with this – just use your fingers to release the meat from the shell and pull upwards). You don’t have to pull the meat up, but this is a really easy way to make it look extra special before you eat it! Then, season with salt, pepper and pour on the butter-herb sauce. Broil it for 8-10 minutes and enjoy! So easy, right?

You will get perfect lobster every time if you make it this way. My extra tip? A little butter dipping sauce on the side never hurts. 🙂

Happy New Year and cheers to the start of 2022! 0d935219-4f44-47b8-94e7-82741e3b8276
