Ingredients
2 whole Australian lobsters (about 1.5 lbs each) fresh and succulent for the best flavor and texture
4 tbsp unsalted butter enhances richness and adds a creamy mouthfeel
3 cloves garlic, minced provides aromatic depth
1 lemon, juiced adds brightness and balances richness
2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped for freshness and garnish
Instructions
1-Prepare your lobster by rinsing under cold water and patting dry. If using live lobster, clean it humanely before cooking.

3-Melt the butter and mix in the minced garlic and lemon juice.
4-Brush the lobster meat generously with the garlic butter mixture.
5-Place the lobsters on a baking tray, shell side down, and bake for 12-15 minutes until the meat is opaque and cooked through.
6-Sprinkle fresh parsley over the lobster before serving for added color and flavor.
7-Serve hot with lemon wedges on the side. For variations, such as gluten-free or low-calorie options, use alternative fats like olive oil to keep things light.
