Ingredients

  • 2 Lobster Tails
  • 1/4 c Clarified Butter divided (see notes for making clarified butter)
  • 1 teaspoon of Old Bay Seasoning

Instructions

  • Turn on your stove broiler to heat the oven while you prep.
  • Butterfly the lobster tails and rest the meat on top of the shell.
  • Brush the lobster meat with clarified butter then season with Old Bay seasoning. Place the tails on a lined sheet pan and place into the oven.
  • Broil the lobster tails 8 to 10 minutes until done. Extra large lobster tails may take a few minutes more. The meat should be pinkish white but firm and the shells bright red when done.
  • Serve with clarified butter.

Notes

Clarified Butter

To make clarified butter, place a stick of butter in a small sauce pan and place over medium low heat on the stove top. The butter should melt and come to a simmer until the milk solids rise to the top.
Scoop off the milk solids and transfer the clarified butter to a holding dish.
Melted ghee may be used instead of clarifying butter yourself.
