Thaw lobster tails if frozen. Using kitchen scissors, cut down the top of the shell to expose the meat.
Gently lift the lobster meat over the shell without detaching it from the tail.
In a saucepan over low heat, melt the butter with garlic, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and thyme (if using).
Once the butter is fully melted and aromatic, add the lobster tails meat-side down.
Poach gently in the butter for about 5–6 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the lobster meat is opaque and cooked through.
Remove from heat, spoon butter over the tails, and garnish with chopped parsley.
Serve immediately with extra butter sauce if desired.
