Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
- Cut the lobster tails straight down the middle using kitchen shears. Butterfly the lobster meat by pulling it through the opening and laying the meat on top of the shell. Rinse tails under water; place in an oven-safe baking dish.
- Combine melted butter, garlic powder, and parsley in a bowl. Mix together with a spoon.
- Season lobster tails with seafood seasoning and pour melted butter mixture on top until each tail is completely covered. Squeeze lemon juice over top.
- Bake in the preheated oven until shells are bright red and meat is opaque, 12 to 15 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the centers should read 140 to 145 degrees F (60 to 63 degrees C).

BAKED LOBSTER
This is exactly like the lobster my mother used to make for church socials and other events back in Massachusetts where I'm from. She would split open those tails and gently remove the meat without even chipping the finish on her nails! This is melt-in-your-mouth good.

Steps:
- 1. Heat oven to 375.
- 2. Remove any tomalley (green liver) from lobsters; mash it and reserve. (Lobsters should be 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 pounds, split with cracked claws.)
- 3. Place lobsters, split side up, in large, flat baking pan.
- 4. In bowl, combine crumbs, 1/4 cup of the melted butter, worcestershire and wine.
- 5. Lightly spoon mixture into lobster cavities.
- 6. Sprinkle exposed meat of lobster with melted butter.
- 7. Bake uncovered, 35 to 40 minutes.
- 8. Sprinkle with paprika and parsley.
- 9. Serve with additional melted butter.
Tips:
- Selecting the Lobster: Choose live lobsters that are heavy for their size and have a firm shell. Avoid lobsters with missing claws or cracked shells.
- Preparing the Lobster: If you're not comfortable cooking live lobsters, ask your fishmonger to steam them for you. Otherwise, steam the lobsters yourself by placing them in a steamer basket over a pot of boiling water. Cover and steam for 10-12 minutes per pound, or until the lobsters are bright red and the meat is opaque.
- Cooking the Lobster: For baking, preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Place the lobsters on a baking sheet and brush them with melted butter. Bake for 10-12 minutes per pound, or until the meat is cooked through.
- Serving the Lobster: Serve the lobsters immediately with melted butter, lemon wedges, and your favorite sides. You can also crack the shells and remove the meat before serving.
Conclusion:
Baked fresh lobster is a delicious and impressive dish that's perfect for special occasions. With careful selection and preparation, you can create a restaurant-quality meal at home. Remember to choose high-quality lobsters, cook them properly, and serve them with your favorite sides. Enjoy your baked fresh lobster!
