Butterflied Lobster Tails

Ingredients

• 2 lobster tails, thawed
• 1/2 cup melted butter, divided
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon dried/freshly chopped thyme
• 1/2 teaspoon dried/freshly chopped parsley
• 1/2 teaspoon dried/freshly chopped rosemary
• Salt and Pepper, to taste

Directions

1. Preheat oven or grill to 500F. 
2. Butterfly lobster tails.
   1. Take sharp kitchen sheers and cut down the center of the top of the Lobster Tail, from body end to tail end. 
   2. Flip the tail over and pull apart the middle of the cut shell, gently placing your fingers underneath the lobster meat.
   3. Flip the tail back over, slowly and carefully pull up the lobster meat in one piece. The meat should still be attached at the bottom of the tail.
   4. Once the lobster meat is on top of the shell, take the shell and close it around the bottom of the meat. As the lobster cooks, it will expand and have an elegant fan shaped presentation. 
3. Mix 1/4 cup melted butter with garlic, paprika, thyme, parsley, and rosemary. 
4. Brush butter mixture evenly onto lobster tails, sprinkle with salt and pepper.
5. Broil or grill lobster for about 8-10 minutes or until meat is opaque and lightly brown on the top. Serve with remaining 1/4 cup melted butter for dipping.
