Garlic Butter Baked Lobster Tails

Acquire all necessary ingredients and heat your oven to the optimal temperature of 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius).

Carefully cut lobster tails in half lengthwise using kitchen shears, taking care not to damage the delicate flesh.

Separate the lobster meat by prying it away from the shell and laying it flat on top of the shell; place the lobster in a suitable oven-safe baking dish.

In a separate container, blend together melted butter, garlic powder, and chopped parsley using a spoon to create a smooth mixture.

Sprinkle seafood seasoning liberally over the lobster tails, followed by an even layer of the melted butter mixture to fully coat each tail. Finish with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.

Place the lobster in the preheated oven and bake until the shells have turned a vibrant red color and the meat has reached an opaque consistency, requiring 12 to 15 minutes of cooking time. To ensure the lobster is cooked to perfection, insert an instant-read thermometer into the center of each tail and verify that it reaches a temperature of 140 to 145 degrees Fahrenheit (60 to 63 degrees Celsius).
