   Cooking lobster tail is a great choice for a special meal! When broiling lobster tail in your electric oven, you don’t necessarily need to keep the oven door cracked, but it can help to monitor the cooking process closely and prevent it from cooking too quickly. Just be sure to watch it closely, as lobster tail can overcook quickly.

   Here’s a simple method for broiling lobster tail:

   1. Preparation: Preheat the broiler. If you want, you can use kitchen scissors to cut the top of the shell lengthwise, which makes it easier to access the meat and helps it cook evenly. Gently pull the meat out of the shell and lay it on top, leaving it attached at the tail if you prefer.

   2. Seasoning: Brush the lobster meat with olive oil, and season with salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lemon juice.

   3. Broiling: Place the lobster tail on a baking sheet and broil for about 5–8 minutes, depending on the size, until the meat is opaque and slightly browned. Keep an eye on it to avoid overcooking.

   For a sauce other than butter and salt, you could try a garlic lemon herb sauce. Here’s a quick recipe:

   Garlic Lemon Herb Sauce:
   – 1/4 cup olive oil
   – 2-3 cloves garlic, minced
   – Juice of 1 lemon
   – 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (or any fresh herbs you like)
   – Salt and pepper to taste

   Instructions:
   1. In a small saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
   2. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, but not browned.
   3. Remove from heat and stir in the lemon juice, herbs, salt, and pepper.

   Drizzle this sauce over the lobster tail before serving for a fresh flavor!

   Good luck with your meal preparation! The family will surely love it!
