1
Prepare the Lobster Tails
Using kitchen scissors, carefully cut the top shell of the lobster tails lengthwise down the center, stopping just before the tail fin. Gently pull apart the shell to expose the meat.
2
Preheat Oven
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

3
Make the Garlic Butter
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Remove from heat and stir in lemon juice, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
4
Apply the Butter Mixture
Place the lobster tails on a baking sheet. Brush the garlic butter mixture generously over the lobster meat.
5
Bake the Lobster Tails
Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until the lobster meat is opaque and cooked through. Baste with the remaining garlic butter halfway through cooking.
6
Garnish and Serve
Remove the lobster tails from the oven. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve immediately, with extra lemon wedges on the side if desired.
