Few pairings are better than lobster and melted butter. We give this dish a flavor boost by infusing the butter with garlic and fresh herbs before pouring it over the sweet roasted lobster meat.

2Prep lobster tails
- Working with 1 lobster tail at a time, hold it with shell in palm of your hand with tail fin facing away from you.
- Starting at end closest to you, use kitchen shears to cut along both sides of translucent membrane, where legs meet shell, all the way to tail fin, trying not to cut into flesh.
- Lift up membrane and cut where it attaches to tail fin, exposing tail meat.
- Starting at end closest to you and moving toward tail fin, slide thumb or index finger between shell and flesh to dislodge tail meat. Leave meat in shell.
