• Now we should have the lobster tail sitting up. • 1 tbsp green seasoning/sofrito.
• Begin to smash and mince your 5 - 6 garlic cloves, and dice up 3/4 cup red onion. • 1 tbsp Chef Bruja everything seasoning.
• You must begin by melting 4 tbsp of butter for 5 - 10 seconds. After it’s melted, we add our seasonings.
• Add 1 tbsp green seasoning/sofrito, add your minced garlic, onions, 1 tbsp cajun seasoning, 1 tbsp Chef Bruja
everything seasoning, and squeeze one whole lemon. Mix this till everything is bound well, then get your basting
brush, or if you don’t have, you can baste with your spoon. Make sure your lobster tails are covered completely. You
should still have some of your mix set aside for later use.
• There are multiple ways to do this part, depending on how you want your lobster tail.
• You can add 1 tbsp olive oil and 1 tbsp butter to a medium-sized pan to grill it. Place heat on low to medium. Once
the butter melts, you want to place your lobster tails meat facing down against the pan. Place a lid over and let that
cook for 5 - 10 minutes till it gets that nice char. Once your lobster is browned, flip back and baste again with your
leftover sauce. Place onto a plate to serve.
• To air fry, grab an aluminum foil sheet to catch any juices, place your lobster tail in there and let cook on 350 for 5 -
8 minutes on air fry for a nice healthy crisp.
• To steam your lobster tail, you can add 1 cup of water to the bottom of a wide set medium pan, place heat on low to
medium with the lid on. ( if you have a steaming pot, you can use that ) After 10 minutes, lobster is just like shrimp;
once it is a pink, translucent color, it is ready. The internal temperature should be anywhere between 135 - 140
Fahrenheit if you are unsure. Repeat the same process, and enjoy!
• To make the butter mix we created, follow the same steps as a dipping sauce.
