Lobster tails with garlic butter
The one extravagance in this library, and it is genuinely hard to get wrong — the only real risk is leaving it under the broiler a minute too long.

6 steps · 20 minutes
- Cut down the top of each shell with kitchen scissors, stopping at the tail fan, and prise the shell open.
- Lift the meat up so it sits on top of the shell rather than inside it. This is what stops the underside overcooking before the top has colored.
- Melt the butter with the crushed garlic over low heat for 2 minutes, without letting the garlic take color.
- Brush half the butter over the meat and broil 8 minutes under a high heat, basting once.
- It is done the moment the flesh turns from translucent to white. Past that it tightens and goes rubbery, and there is no way back.
- Squeeze the lemon into the remaining butter, stir in the parsley, and pour it over.
