Sheet Pan Parmesan Crusted Lobster Tails

Juicy broiled lobster tails with a crispy Parmesan crust, served over crunchy purple cabbage slaw with a thick creamy garlic butter drip.

  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 2 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large lobster tails
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, finely grated
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 2 cups shredded purple cabbage
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tbsp heavy cream
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
  • Lemon wedges for serving

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Lobster: Using kitchen shears, carefully cut the top shell and lift the lobster meat above the shell while keeping it attached at the base. Place the prepared tails on a lined baking tray for an easy, low-friction sheet pan cleanup.
  2. Make the Garlic Butter Crust: In a small bowl, whisk together the 4 tablespoons of melted butter, minced garlic, paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Brush this mixture generously over the exposed lobster meat. Heavily sprinkle the finely grated Parmesan cheese over the top, gently pressing it into the butter to create a thick crust.
  3. Broil to Golden: Place the tray under the broiler for 8 to 10 minutes until the lobster meat is perfectly opaque and the Parmesan crust is beautifully golden brown and crispy.
  4. Make the Slaw & Thick Drip: Toss the shredded purple cabbage with a splash of lemon juice to create your vibrant crunchy slaw base. In a separate small bowl, heavily whisk the extra melted butter and heavy cream until it forms a smooth, thick, and velvety garlic butter cream sauce.
  5. Assemble and Drip: Lay down a generous bed of the vibrant crunchy purple cabbage slaw on a plate and heavily top it with the hot, golden crusted lobster tails. Flood the seafood entirely with a massive, heavy, scroll-stopping thick creamy garlic butter drip! Garnish with fresh chopped parsley, serve with lemon wedges, and dig in immediately.
