1. Thaw the lobster tail if it's frozen by placing it in the refrigerator overnight.
2. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
3. Using kitchen shears, cut along the top of the shell lengthwise, exposing the meat.
4. Gently pull the shell apart and lift the meat slightly out of the shell, leaving it attached at the base.
5. Place the lobster tail on a baking sheet or in an oven-safe dish.
6. Brush the lobster meat with melted butter or olive oil and season with salt, pepper, and any other desired herbs or spices.
7. Bake the lobster tail in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until the meat is opaque and the internal temperature reaches 140°F (60°C).
8. Serve the lobster tail immediately with additional melted butter or lemon wedges on the side for dipping.
Enjoy your deliciously cooked lobster tail!
