Prepare the lobster tails: Using kitchen shears, carefully cut along the top of each lobster shell, from the tail end towards the head, being careful not to cut through the meat. Gently separate the meat from the shell. Pull the meat upwards, resting it on top of the shell in a "piggyback" or "butterfly" style. You may want to wear gloves to protect your hands from small spines on the underside of the shell.

Prepare the garlic butter sauce: In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the pressed garlic cloves and seafood seasoning. Stir with a wooden spoon until well combined. Pour the mixture into a separate small bowl for easy application.
