Delicious, buttery, and succulent lobster tails that are simple to prepare and cook in just minutes!
Ingredients
Directions
These 3‑ingredient lobster tails are the kind of recipe that feels luxurious but takes only minutes to pull off. Sweet, tender meat, a quick brush of buttery goodness, and a fast broil—that’s all it takes to create a dish that tastes like you spent hours. Simple, elegant, unforgettable.
Preheat your oven to broil and cover a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy clean-up. Using kitchen shears, cut straight down the top of each lobster shell to expose the meat.
Gently pull the shell apart and lift the lobster meat out, keeping the end attached near the tail so it rests neatly on top of the shell.
Lay the lobster meat neatly on top of the shell, letting it sit high and exposed for even broiling.
Melt the butter in a small dish or measuring cup, then stir in a pinch of smoked or regular paprika. I prefer unsalted butter, so you can season to taste — it lets the natural sweetness of the lobster and the rich creaminess of the butter really shine.
Brush or pour a generous amount of the butter over the lobster meat. Broil for 6–8 minutes with the oven rack about 6 inches from the heating element. As a rule of thumb, broil for about 1 minute per ounce of lobster until the meat is opaque. Serve immediately.
Enjoy!
