Introduction

I found a recipe online and switched it up a little. I thought a few changes would add a little something and it also made it much healthier. I found a recipe online and switched it up a little. I thought a few changes would add a little something and it also made it much healthier.

Ingredients

    5 Lobster Tails
    1 tsp finely shredded Orange Peel
    1/2 tsp cayenne or red pepper
    1 clove fresh garlic, minced
    1/4 cup I can't believe it's not butter light spread

Directions

Preheat broiler. Butterfly the lobster tails by cutting through the hard top and meat of the tail. Spread the halves and place on broiler rack with the meat facing up

Heat butter with garlic, orange peel, and cayenne pepper. Brush over the lobster tails.

Broil 4 inches from heat about 15 mins or until meat is opaque. Serve using additional butter for dipping the meat.

    Thank you for sharing. I was a little worried because I have never cooked frozen lobster before and wasn't sure whether to boil or broil. Your recipe was exactly what I was hoping it would work out to be. - 3/31/13

    Excellent!! (I didn't use orange, and used garlic powder because I'm out of Cloves). I LOVE the spice that the cayenne gave it! - 1/17/13

    I added lemon to the butter as well. It was very tasty!
    The hardest part is breaking the shell to open them as butterfly, but after that is easy! yummy and would definitely make again

    Normally just brush with melted butter this adds a little zest. Placed a little water in pan. Will try again and might try parmasean as someone suggested and maybe try on shrimp. - 2/12/11
