Cooking Instructions
- 1
Microwave butter and seasonings for about 1 minute until butter is melted. Stir. Preheat oven to 400.
- 2
Use a pair of shears/scissors and cut a straight line down the top of the tail shell until you reach the fan-shaped portion of the tail. (its ok if some of the meat is cut)
- 3
Fold a paper towel in half. Lay the lobster tail on its side and wrap the other half of the paper towel over the top of the lobster. Press down on the shell with your palm until the tail cracks.
- 4
Open the shell of the tail like a book and using your fingers pull the meat up and out of the shell. Keep the meat near the tail still attached.
- 5
Push the sides of shell back together and lay the meat ontop of the shell. Use shears/knive to finish butterflying the top of the meat.
- 6
Cut two pieces of foil a bit larger than the tails. Place tails on foil and brush marinade on top of meat.
- 7
Lift one layer of lobster up and fold to create a pocket around the lobster and repeat with second sheet of foil. Place on baking sheet according to chart above!

Broiled Lobster Tails Broiled Lobster Tails
Lobster tail will be my heirloom recipe for my kids and grandchildren. These are big tails cut in half. They’re very easy to make but even easier to ruin. Over cooking does NOT fly with seafood lol it all depends on the size of the tail. These were about 16-24 ounce tails. Pay close attention to your time and keep a thermometer ready. It goes fast. #heirloom

Butterflied Grilled Lobster Tail Butterflied Grilled Lobster Tail
This grilled recipe only takes the full 1 hour if you allow the lobster tails to marinate for 15-30 mins. & count for time heating the grill as well. Otherwise, it will only be a 30-45 minute recipe. 😏👍👍 Our children do not eat much seafood but the grown ups of the house enjoy this occasional treat! 👏🥳😄 #lobster #lobstertail #seafood #seafoodnight #grillfood

My winter houseguest misses New England. Decided to do lobster for Valentine's day. Taste of home even if they were spiny lobsters from California.

This is my leftover heirloom recipe. I just made that up. We had those gigantic lobster tails last night for our anniversary dinner. By the way, slept like a baby. Today we had one whole tail left over so guess what? My take on a lobster tail is more is more. It doesn’t need much. As little as necessary to keep it together and tasting fresh. I hope you enjoy it! #heirloom
