For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of garlic powder or a dash of cayenne pepper to the butter mixture. Be careful not to overcook the lobster, as it can become tough and rubbery. The key is to monitor it closely under the broiler. If desired, you can brush the lobster meat with a little extra melted butter after broiling for a glossy finish. Serve with your favorite sides, such as steamed asparagus, garlic mashed potatoes, or a crisp green salad.
