Ingredients

  • 4 6 ounce Lobster Tails
  • 1/2 Onion, cut into 4 wedges
  • 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter
  • 1/3 cup White Wine
  • 1/4 cup Honey
  • 6 Large Garlic Cloves, crushed
  • 2 tablespoons Fresh Lemon Juice
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • Black Pepper to taste
  • Lemon Slices, to serve
  • 2 tablespoons Parsley, chopped

Directions

  1. Place oven rack in the middle of the oven; preheat broiler; line a baking tray with foil

  3. In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat; add garlic and sauté for 1 minute; add white wine; allow to simmer and reduce 2-3 minutes; add honey, lemon juice, salt, and pepper; whisk until the honey has melted through the butter and the mixture is combined; set aside 
  4. Using kitchen shears, cut the top shell down the center of the back to the end of the tail; leave the tail fan intact; remove any vein and shell shards; run a finger between meat and shell to loosen it; spread the meat slightly open; pull and lift the lobster meat off the bottom of the shell, don’t pull the tail out completely; place an onion wedge below the meat above the shell
