Serve and Enjoy: Remove the lobster tails from the broiler. Serve immediately with fresh lemon wedges and melted butter, if desired. (2 minutes)
For enhanced flavor, consider adding a pinch of garlic powder or paprika to the lemon-pepper seasoning.
If using larger lobster tails, increase the broiling time accordingly, checking for doneness by ensuring the meat is opaque.
Do not overcook the lobster, or it will become rubbery.
Thawing the lobster tails completely before cooking is crucial for even cooking.
A squeeze of fresh lemon juice after broiling brightens the flavors and adds a touch of acidity.
