So, what's the magic number? Do you go for high and risk it all, or play it safe with low? The answer, my friends, lies somewhere in between. It's all about finding that sweet spot, where the lobster tail is cooked to perfection, with a beautiful, golden-brown color and a tender, juicy texture that'll make your taste buds do the happy dance!
Now, here's a fun fact: did you know that lobster tails are actually the tail end of the lobster (who would've thought, right?). And, they're also a great source of protein, vitamins, and minerals – making them a guilt-free indulgence (or so we tell ourselves, anyway!). So, go ahead and treat yourself to a broiled lobster tail (or two, or three...), and don't worry about the calories – you can always justify it as a health food!
But, back to the broiling business. To achieve that perfect doneness, you'll want to broil your lobster tails on medium-high (around 400-450°F), for about 8-12 minutes, depending on their size and your desired level of cooked-ness. Just remember to keep an eye on them, as they can go from perfectly cooked to burnt to a crisp in a matter of seconds – talk about a culinary rollercoaster!

And, if you're feeling extra fancy, you can even add some garlic butter or lemon juice to give your lobster tails a burst of flavor. Just be sure to brush them with the good stuff during the last few minutes of broiling, so the flavors can caramelize and meld together in perfect harmony. It's like a taste sensation that'll leave you hooks for more!
