Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Lobster Tails

    Using kitchen shears, cut the top shell of each lobster tail lengthwise down the center. Carefully pull apart the shell and lift the lobster meat, resting it on top of the shell.

  2. 2

    Make the Garlic Butter

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

Cooking

  1. 3

    Broil the Lobster

    Preheat the broiler in your oven. Place the lobster tails on a baking sheet, shell side down. Brush the garlic butter generously over the lobster meat.

  2. 4

    Broil

    Broil the lobster tails for about 10-12 minutes, or until the meat is opaque and cooked through. Baste with the remaining garlic butter halfway through the cooking time.

  3. 5

    Garnish and Serve

    Once cooked, remove from the oven and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley. Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
