Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven:

  • Coat the lobster:
    Brush the mixture generously over the lobster meat.
  • Add breadcrumbs:
    Sprinkle breadcrumbs over the lobster for a slight crunch.
  • Bake:
    Place the lobster tails on a baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the meat is opaque and cooked through.
  • Garnish and serve:
    Sprinkle fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges.
