Lobster Tail Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Lobster Tails

    Using kitchen scissors, cut the top shell of the lobster tails lengthwise down the middle, stopping just before the tail fin. Gently pull apart the shell to expose the meat.

  2. 2

    Make the Butter Mixture

    In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Stir in lemon juice, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

  3. 3

    Baste the Lobster

    Preheat your grill or oven broiler. Brush the lobster meat with the prepared butter mixture, making sure to coat it evenly.

  4. 4

    Cook the Lobster

    Place the lobster tails on the grill or under the broiler. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the meat is opaque and cooked through. Baste with more butter mixture halfway through cooking.

  5. 5

    Garnish and Serve

    Once cooked, remove from heat and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley. Serve immediately with additional lemon wedges and the remaining butter mixture on the side.
