Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces lobster tails
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 cloves garlic cloves (minced)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
Using kitchen scissors, carefully cut down the top shell of each lobster tail to expose the meat. Gently pull the meat out of the shell while keeping it attached at the tail, and rest it on top of the shell.
In a medium skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir in the panko breadcrumbs and toast them in the butter for 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
Remove the skillet from the heat and mix in the chopped parsley, lemon juice, Parmesan cheese, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Divide the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the lobster meat, pressing it gently to adhere.
Drizzle a small amount of olive oil over each stuffed lobster tail to help with browning.
Place the stuffed lobster tails on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the lobster meat is opaque and cooked through and the breadcrumbs are golden and crispy.
Remove from the oven and let rest for 2 minutes before serving. Serve with lemon wedges for an extra burst of flavor.
