Baked garlic butter lobster tails are perfect for special occasions like Mother’s Day, Easter, or Christmas. The lobster tails are ready in less than 30 minutes. Plus, this recipe uses simple ingredients like garlic butter and fresh lemon juice, making the lobster tails succulent and extremely delicious. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can I Use Frozen Lobster Tails Instead Of Fresh Lobster Tails<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Yes, you can use frozen lobster tails instead of fresh lobster tails. Frozen lobster tails are frozen at the peak of freshness, so there’s no need to worry that they will be less delicious than fresh lobster. However, if you are using frozen lobster tails, make sure you thaw the lobster tails in the fridge overnight before making this recipe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do I Have To Split The Lobster Tails <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You do not have to split the lobster tails. I split the lobster tails because it stretches the lobster. Instead of 1 person getting an entire lobster tail, they get half which allows you to serve more people. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes, the portions are smaller, but everyone will get a taste of the lobster. Plus, I always cook a second protein, like chicken, to go along with the lobster since it’s much cheaper. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do You Cover Lobster Tails When Baking<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Covering the lobster tails is optional. However, I recommend it. It will decrease the chances that the lobster will dry out. If you bake the lobster tails without the foil, watch them carefully and remove them once they have an internal temperature of 145\u00b0F. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tips For Making Baked Garlic Butter Lobster Tails <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I used Caribbean spiny lobster<\/a>, also known as rock lobster, to make this recipe. It is what’s available in the Bahamas. You can use Maine lobster in place of spiny lobster. However, you will have to cook them for 3-5 minutes longer, depending on the size of the lobster tails, until they have an internal temperature of 145\u00b0F. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are splitting the lobster tails yourself, remove the dark vein running through the center of the tail before you season them. This is the lobster’s intestinal tract, and you do not want to eat it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Season the lobster tails lightly. Remember, there is seasoning in the garlic butter sauce. If you add too much seasoning to the lobster tails, it will be too salty. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spoon the garlic butter over the lobster tails instead of brushing it on. If you use a brush, you will remove the layer of seasoning you just applied to the lobster. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Do To Store Baked Garlic Butter Lobster Tails<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Let the lobster tails cool completely. Place them into an airtight container, then place them in the fridge. They will last for 2 days.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How To Reheat Baked Garlic Butter Lobster Tails<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You can reheat the lobster tails in the microwave for 30 seconds to 1 minute. Do not heat the crawfish longer than a minute, or it may dry out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can also reheat the lobster tails in the oven. Preheat the oven to 325\u00b0F, then place the lobster tails into a baking dish and wrap it with foil. The foil will prevent the lobster tails from drying out. Bake the lobster tails for 8-10 minutes until they are heated through.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What To Serve With Baked Garlic Butter Lobster Tails<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Many sides pair well with lobster tails. For example, air fryer potato wedges, cauliflower rice, sauteed spinach, garlic parmesan potato wedges, and steamed cabbage pair well with garlic butter lobster tails. Mashed potatoes and a side salad also pair well with lobster tails. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
