3. Brush the Lobster with Garlic Butter:
– Place the prepared lobster tails on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the garlic butter mixture generously over the lobster meat.
4. Bake the Lobster Tails:
– Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the lobster meat is opaque and slightly firm to the touch.
5. Serve:
