Ingredients:
Ingredients:
- 2 lobster tails, about 8-10 ounces each
- 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Lemon wedges for serving
- Prepare the Lobster Tails:
- Using kitchen shears, carefully cut along the top of each lobster tail shell lengthwise, starting from the wider end and stopping at the tail. Be sure not to cut all the way through.
- Gently pry open the shells and carefully lift the lobster meat, keeping it attached at the base. Place the meat on top of the shells.
- Make the Stuffing:
- In a small mixing bowl, combine breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, chopped parsley, melted butter, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
- Stuff the Lobster Tails:
- Divide the prepared stuffing mixture evenly between the two lobster tails, pressing it gently onto the exposed lobster meat.
- Bake the Lobster Tails:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Place the stuffed lobster tails on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the lobster meat is opaque and the stuffing is golden brown and crispy.
- Serve and Enjoy:
- Carefully transfer the stuffed lobster tails to serving plates.
- Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
- Pair with your favorite side dishes, such as roasted vegetables or garlic mashed potatoes, for a complete meal.
- For an extra indulgent touch, drizzle melted butter over the stuffed lobster tails before serving.
- Don't overcook the lobster tails, as they can become tough and rubbery. Keep an eye on them to ensure they're cooked to perfection.
- Feel free to customize the stuffing with your favorite herbs and spices for a unique flavor twist.
