For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a dash of hot sauce or a pinch of red pepper flakes to the garlic butter. Fresh herbs, such as thyme or chives, can be used in place of or in addition to the dried parsley. Be careful not to overbake the lobster, as it can become tough. Serve with a side of asparagus or a light salad for a complete and elegant meal.
