4 (4-ounce) lobster tails, thawed if frozen
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

For the Lemon-Garlic Herb Butter:

8 tbsp (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
2 tsp lemon zest
2 cloves garlic, finely grated

Notes

Avoid overcooking: Lobster should be tender, never rubbery.

Small basket? Cook in batches — don’t stack!
Bonus tip: Place a slice of bread under the tails to catch drips (and enjoy buttery toast later!).
