½ tsp kosher salt
Chef's tip
Season to taste - salt substitutes can taste bitter in larger amounts, so start with less.
¼ tsp black pepper

For the garlic ghee

4 tbsp ghee
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
½ tsp smoked paprika
¼ tsp crushed red pepper flakes

For serving

2 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped (optional)
1 lemon, cut into wedges (optional)

Instructions

1
Position an oven rack about 6 inches from the broiler element and preheat the broiler to high. Line a broiler-safe baking sheet or broiler pan with foil.
2
Using kitchen shears, cut straight down the center of each lobster tail shell from the open end to just before the tail fan. Use your thumbs to gently pry the shell halves apart and lift the meat up and over the shell, resting it on top while keeping it attached at the base — this is the butterfly cut that exposes the meat for even broiling. Pat the meat dry and season with the kosher salt and black pepper.
