Lobster tails are surprisingly easy to make—and honestly, they should be made at home. With just high-quality lobster tails, kitchen shears, and a generous amount of butter, you can create a restaurant-worthy dish in under 15 minutes. Trust me, your guests will be obsessed. To give it a little twist, I added fresh oregano and sumac, bringing a gorgeous aroma and a hint of brightness to balance all that buttery richness. Served over creamy mashed potatoes, it was nothing short of perfection.
