Ingredients

6 -8 oz lobster tails
5 tablespoons butter
4 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons soy sauce
¾ teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 tablespoons lemon juice
3 cloves garlic crushed or chopped finely
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Heat the butter, and add the oil, garlic, soy sauce, lemon juice, and parsley. Let it sizzle for a minute. Take this mixture off the heat and then add the cayenne pepper, salt and black pepper. Set aside.
Place a skewer through the meat to keep the tail from curling while cooking.
Start at the "head side" and carefully run the skewer out the other side UNDER the tail fan. See post for more instruction if needed.
Place the lobster tails in a roasting pan. Bake for about 12 - 15 minutes, until the meat is cooked through, but not rubbery. It should be around 140F when tested with a thermometer.
Serve with dipping cups for the butter mixture, lemon or lime wedges and some Keto Fried Rice.

Notes

Tip: Do not discard the lobster tail shells after serving. Freeze them in a ziploc bag for another time. Lobster shells add depth and flavor to Lobster Bisque.
