Season each lobster tail with the seafood seasoning blend and place in oven on the middle rack under the broiler. Let cook for about 5 to 7 minutes, or until just barely cooked throughout. Remove from oven, let cool slightly. Drizzle each spiny lobster tail with green sauce and serve extra sauce on the side. Garnish with seared lemon halves and fresh herbs, if desired.
