Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Lobster Tails

    Using kitchen shears, cut the top shell of the lobster tails down the center, stopping just before the tail end. Carefully pull the meat out and lay it on top of the shell.

Cooking

  1. 2

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the lobster tails.

  2. 3

    Make the Garlic Butter

    In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic, lemon juice, paprika, salt, and black pepper, stirring to combine. Remove from heat.

  3. 4

    Coat the Lobster Tails

    Brush the garlic butter mixture generously over the lobster meat and inside the shell.

  4. 5

    Bake the Lobster Tails

    Place the lobster tails in a baking dish and bake in the preheated oven for approximately 15-20 minutes, or until the lobster meat is opaque and cooked through.

Finishing Touch

  1. 6

    Garnish and Serve

    Once cooked, remove the lobster tails from the oven, drizzle with any remaining garlic butter, and sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley before serving.
