Directions
- Preheat the broiler. Set a wire cooling rack inside a rimmed baking sheet. Using kitchen shears, cut the top shell of each lobster tail lengthwise down the center. Next, use a knife to slice all the way through the tails, splitting each into two pieces. Place the lobster halves flesh-side up on the prepared baking sheet.
- In a small bowl, combine the butter, parsley, shallot, lemon zest, teaspoon salt, and a few grinds of pepper. Mix until thoroughly blended.
- Spread 2 teaspoons of the compound butter onto the flesh of each lobster tail half. Broil until the shells turn a vibrant orange, the flesh is opaque and fully cooked, and the tails start to curl, about 4 minutes.
- Transfer the lobster tails to a serving platter and top each half with an additional teaspoon of the compound butter (reserve any remaining butter for another use).
Cook's Note: To thaw lobster tails, refrigerate them for 24 hours until completely thawed. Alternatively, place them in a large pot and cover with cold water until fully thawed, 1 to 2 hours.
