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