1
Prepare the Lobster Tail
Begin by thawing the lobster tail if it is frozen. This can be done by placing it in the refrigerator overnight or submerging it in cold water for 30-60 minutes.
2
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it is ready for cooking the lobster tail.

3
Cut the Lobster Tail
Using kitchen shears, carefully cut down the top of the lobster shell. Stop just before the tail fin to keep the shell intact.
4
Prepare the Butter Mixture
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Once melted, add minced garlic, lemon juice, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine.
5
Apply the Butter Mixture
Gently pull the lobster meat out from the shell and lay it on top of the shell. Brush the prepared butter mixture generously over the lobster meat.
6
Bake the Lobster Tail
Place the lobster tail on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until the lobster meat is opaque and firm.
7
Garnish and Serve
Remove the lobster tail from the oven and sprinkle with chopped parsley before serving. Enjoy your lobster tail hot!
