1
Prepare the Lobster Tails
Use kitchen shears to cut the top shell of the lobster tails down the middle, stopping just before the tail fin. Gently pull the shell apart and lift the lobster meat slightly out of the shell.
2
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

3
Make the Garlic Butter Sauce
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add minced garlic (finely chop the garlic cloves) and sauté for 1-2 minutes until aromatic.
4
Season the Lobster
Drizzle the garlic butter over the lobster meat. Sprinkle paprika, salt, and black pepper over the lobster tails, then squeeze the juice of half a lemon over each tail.
5
Bake the Lobster Tails
Place the lobster tails on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, until the lobster meat is opaque and cooked through.

6
Garnish and Serve
Remove the lobster tails from the oven and garnish with chopped parsley and the remaining lemon wedges. Serve immediately while hot.
