How to make Baked Lobster
This is our Friday night go-to meal during Lent. It’s an easy meatless meal that’s satisfies every dinner guest. Lobster is a good source of protein, calcium, phosphorous, zinc, and B vitamins. Pairing the lobster tails with potatoes and broccoli adds balance and additional nutrients to the meal, making it both elegant and wholesome.
