We loved this - it was delicious. Totally full of fat, but totally worth it occasionally!

Good and quick and easy!! Next time I'll get pre-split lobster tails only....didn't like cleaning the whole lobster, cracking claws etc.

I added halved cherry tomatoes and parmesan for an extra touch and it was awesome! My son ate it sans lobster and loved it!
