Butter-Basted Lemon Garlic Lobster Tails

Ingredients:

4 lobster tails

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

4. Brush the lobster meat generously with the lemon garlic butter mixture.
5. Place the lobster tails on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the lobster meat is opaque and cooked through.
