Lobster tails are surprisingly easy to make—and honestly, they should be made at home. With just high-quality lobster tails, kitchen shears, and a generous amount of butter, you can create a restaurant-worthy dish in under 15 minutes. Trust me, your guests will be obsessed. To give it a little twist, I added fresh oregano and sumac, bringing a gorgeous aroma and a hint of brightness to balance all that buttery richness. Served over creamy mashed potatoes, it was nothing short of perfection.

step 1

In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with garlic confit, chopped oregano, lemon zest, sumac, sea salt, and chopped parsley until well combined.

step 2

Prepare the Lobster – using kitchen shears, butterfly the tail by cutting down the center. Gently loosen the meat and lift it upward, resting it on the shell for an elegant presentation.

step 3

Spoon the butter mixture over the lobster meat, then brush it evenly to coat generously.

step 4

Place the lobster tails on a rack over a tray and broil on medium for 10 minutes, or until the meat is firm and pearly white with a lightly browned top.

step 5

Serve with melted butter over mashed potatoes.
