Place the prepared tails on a baking sheet. Generously brush the garlic butter mixture over the exposed lobster meat. Don’t be shy—let the butter seep into the crevices of the meat for maximum flavor. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt and pepper.
4. The Broiling Process
Set your oven to high broil. Place the baking sheet on the top rack, about 4-5 inches from the heat source. Broil for 8 to 10 minutes. You are looking for the meat to turn opaque and white, with the butter bubbling and the edges of the shell slightly charred.
Pro Tip: Use a meat thermometer! Lobster is perfectly cooked when the internal temperature reaches 140°F (60°C).
