Lobster Tail Ingredients
Method
Cooking Instructions
Prepare the Lobster Tails
Using kitchen scissors, carefully cut the top shell of each lobster tail lengthwise, stopping just before the tail fin.
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Make the Garlic Butter
In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes. Stir in lemon juice, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Prepare Lobster Tails for Baking
Gently pull the lobster meat out of the shell, keeping it attached at the tail end, and place it on top of the shell.
Brush with Garlic Butter
Brush the lobster meat generously with the garlic butter mixture and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley.
Bake the Lobster Tails
Place the lobster tails on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the meat is opaque and cooked through.
