Main Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- 1
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the lobster tail.

Prepare the Lobster Tail
Using kitchen scissors, carefully cut the top shell of the lobster tail down the middle. Gently pull the shell apart to expose the meat, but keep it attached at the base. This will help the meat cook evenly and allow for easy seasoning.

Season the Lobster
Melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Stir in the paprika, salt, and black pepper. Brush this mixture generously over the exposed lobster meat.
Cooking

Bake the Lobster
Place the prepared lobster tail on a baking sheet. Squeeze the juice of half the lemon over the lobster meat. Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the meat is opaque and firm to the touch.

Finish and Serve
Once cooked, remove the lobster tail from the oven. Drizzle any remaining garlic butter over the top, and garnish with chopped fresh parsley and lemon wedges. Serve immediately.
