Ingredients:

  • 4 (6 oz / 170g) cold-water lobster tails, thawed if frozen
  • 2 tbsp (28g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup (60g) mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsp (28g) melted unsalted butter
  • 1 tsp (5g) sriracha
  • 1 tbsp (15ml) fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 tsp (2g) garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp (1g) smoked paprika
  • 1 tbsp (4g) fresh parsley, finely chopped

Instructions:

  1. Place the lobster tails on a cutting board, belly side up. Using kitchen shears, cut straight down the center of the top shell, stopping just before the eye socket.
  2. Gently pry the shell open and lift the lobster meat upward, resting it on top of the shell to create a butterfly effect.
  3. Brush the exposed lobster meat lightly with 2 tablespoons of melted butter.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons of melted butter, sriracha, lemon juice, garlic powder, and smoked paprika.
  5. Stir in the finely chopped parsley until evenly distributed.
  6. Preheat the broiler to high and position the oven rack approximately 6 inches from the heat source.
  7. Spoon a generous dollop of the deviled mixture onto the center of each lobster tail, spreading it to the edges of the meat.
  8. Broil for 8–12 minutes until the meat is opaque and the topping is mahogany-colored gold and bubbling.
