This was yummy! A little salty though. I'll use unsalted butter next time. Extremely easy to prepare! I had a couple tails in the fridge that I needed to prepare but I didn't have Old Bay. This was better!

This was my first time cooking lobster tails and I will use this recipe going forward. This was so quick and easy. I used two 4.5 oz tails and broiled on the middle rack for 6.5 minutes. I like my food, even seafood, super done. So next time, I will probably go 8 minutes. Kudos to the reviewer who said stand back when you open the oven. The butter does burn fast and runs right out of the lobster tail. So turn your vent on as soon as you put your tails in to clear up the smoke and keep you from thinking you're burning something. I only added butter and garlic powder. To me, lobster tastes good by itself and needs minimal seasoning.

The lobster tails I used definitely needed double the time the recipe called for. It depends on the size of the lobster tails. When melting the butter I threw in minced garlic to add flavor to the butter. I made sure to check the temperature until it hit 175°F. Everything else was followed as the recipe asked.

This was so easy and turned out great! I was a little nervous because it was my first time cooking lobster tails. I don't like lobster because it is always chewy in restaurants, but my father and husband love it! My mother and I decided to do a surf and turf dinner for my father for Father's Day. We used 4 oz tails, and cooked them for 7 minutes, and put a 1/2 cup water in the bottom of the broiler pan. I also didn't pull the meat from the shell until after it was done cooking. I think it helped the meat stay moist. It wasn't chewy at all! I am glad I used the paprika as I think the Old Bay, as much as I love it, would have over powered the flavor of the lobster. My father said, "Next time we need more surf than turf!" lol I actually went back to the store and purchased more so that I could freeze and make it for my husband when he gets back from training. He is going to be so excited! Thank you!

Simple and straightforward instructions for broiling the perfect lobster tail. We had 8 oz. tails, which hubby broiled in the middle position of the oven, for about 10 minutes.

The best, the absolute best. These lobster tails were cooked for our valentines day dinner. The only thing that was wrong with it, well there wasn't anymore left for seconds.

Delicious! I brined the lobster tail for an hour before 1/4 cup of salt 1/4 cup of sugar and 2 quarts of water. I broiled the lobster according to recipe and it came out so tender and tasty! This one is a keeper ~ thanks!

I did not butterfly the lobster in order to keep it moist. It took about 13 minutes for 4-6 ounce tails and they came out perfect! I did brine the lobster tails in a 1/4 cup salt per 1/2 gallon for an hour before cooking them.

I have never made any type of lobster before and I had no idea how to cook it. So I tried this recipe for a special valentines day menu and it was great. I followed the recipe as written, but I added some extra Old Bay Seasoning for a little more flavor. The lobster was nice and juicy. This will definitely be my go to recipe for Lobster Tails. :)

I used old bay and garlic salt to season the creature. I watched this video to show me how to remove the meat before broiling. I also brushed him with butter a coupld of times while broiling as my broiler is a super broiler and i was scared of burning my expensive piece of seafood. Good luck and thanks for sharing. PS this was my first time ever making lobster and it turned out great. the BF said "the heck with restaurants..i'd rather come here"

Just made this. First, I had the giant Costco lobster tails. I am glad I read the comments first. I moved the rack down two levels from the heat element. At about 15 min the shells were burning and the meat was not finished. I suggest that this be made with the more petite grocery store lobster tails. I expect that those will cook nicely under the broiler. These big tails should be boiled or cooked on the out door grill.

Very good for a romantic dinner and easy too! It took about 10 minutes for broiling and I used Old Bay instead of paprika.

The flavor was great but I overcooked the lobster and it was kind of tough. I may try this again but with a smaller tail. The one I cooked was nearly a pound.

Wow, I should've read the reviews before we cooked our lobsters for the time in her recipe. 5 minutes is not nearly enough time and 10 minutes was not either, not by a long shot. I got our lobsters at Costco and they were as big as they come. I broiled them for 8 minutes and looked them over then put them back min for 4 more minutes. (not wanting to over cook them since you state that 5 - 10 mins is all that is needed. Since we never broiled lobster before we took it for granted that the recipe was ok. Well after trying to eat them we put them back in the oven again this time for another 6 minutes. That is a total of 18 minutes. We ate them and I thought they tasted good but still on under cooked. Now I am thinking they should have been cooked for 25 - 30 minutes for the size we had (1b each).
