Fly Girls Cook: How To Broil Lobster Tails
If you’re following me on the gram (FlyCarla and FlyGirlsCook) than you already know how I throw down in the kitchen. I am plant-based most of the time but I don’t deny myself so if you see me eating a lamb chop-just mind your business.
For Valentine’s Day- I wanted to treat myself. As my girl Reka of Single You Academy says, “singleness is not a punishment,” and I am not waiting for a man to treat myself or to live. I’mma do everything I want and when I want.
I love cooking foods that look impressive but really aren’t that hard to make. Most people shy away from lobster but it’s really not that difficult to cook. Lobster is always my go-to when I’m feeing fancy. I like to either grill it or broil it in the oven.
This is more of a “how-to” or “step-by-step,” rather than a recipe. It’s all about technique. You be the judge on how much, or how little butter as you want use. I go hard with the butter but that’s just me.
HOW TO PREPARE THE LOBSTER FOR BROILING
With a sharp knife or kitchen shears, cut a straight line down the center of the top of the shell. If you do not own kitchen shears, you should. Click here to cop a pair!
Pull the flesh out from the center cut so that it lays on top of the shell.
Remove the vein. Season the lobster tails with kosher salt, black pepper, Old Bay, and a touch of paprika. Top each tail with two slices of butter and a sprinkle of fresh chopped parsley.
HOW TO PREPARE BROILED LOBSTER TAILS
Turn on the broiler. Place lobster tails on a baking pan.
Place under broiler for about 8 to 10 minutes. The tail is fully-cooked when the meat turns opaque. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley. Serve these bomb Broiled Lobster Tails with drawn butter seasoned with Old Bay. Yum.
I served my lobster with broccolini and a filet. I do this cooking thang.
