Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces lobster tails
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon green onions, finely chopped
- 4 pieces lemon wedges
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with foil.
Using kitchen shears, carefully cut through the top shell of each lobster tail down to the fin, avoiding the meat. Gently pull the shell apart and lift the meat slightly to rest on top of the shell without detaching it.
Melt the butter in a small pan over medium heat, then stir in the minced garlic, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Brush the butter mixture generously over the lobster meat, ensuring it is evenly coated.
Place the prepared lobster tails on the lined baking sheet and roast in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the meat is opaque and firm to the touch.
While the lobster tails are roasting, prepare the ginger dipping sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together grated ginger, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, sesame oil, and chopped green onions until well combined.
Once the lobster tails are done, remove them from the oven and transfer to a serving platter.
Serve the roasted lobster tails warm with the ginger dipping sauce on the side and garnish with lemon wedges for a fresh, tangy finish.
