Ingredients

The ingredients are:
  • 2 tails (6 to 8 ounces) lobster (if frozen defrost in fridge, 6-8 ounce)
  • 1 teaspoon lime zest
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • 2 large cloves garlic, chopped
  • 2 tablespoon butter
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Before the tails are completely defrosted carefully cut away the membrane on the underside of the lobster tail. I use kitchen shears to do this.

  • Step 2: Preheat oven to 450f.

  • Step 3: Very carefully separate the meat from the shell.

  • Step 4: Rinse the shell and meat, dry.

  • Step 5: Place the meat back in the shell but opposite to how you took it out. So it sits raised out of the shell.

  • Step 6: In a pan melt the butter with the garlic, chili, lime juice and zest.

  • Step 7: Cook over medium high heat for about 3 minutes or until the garlic is aromatic and lightly browned.

  • Step 8: Brush the butter mixture on the tails.

  • Step 9: Bake in preheated oven for apprx. 15 minutes or until the tails are cooked. Do not over cook.
