Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Lobster Tails

    Using kitchen scissors, cut the top shell of the lobster tails lengthwise, stopping just before the end of the tail. Gently pull apart the shell to expose the meat, taking care not to detach it completely.

  2. 2

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) while you prepare the lobster tails.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Make Garlic Butter

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

  2. 4

    Coat the Lobster Tails

    Brush the lobster meat generously with the garlic butter mixture, reserving some for later basting.

  3. 5

    Bake the Lobster Tails

    Place the lobster tails on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the meat is opaque and cooked through.

  4. 6

    Baste and Broil

    In the last 2 minutes of cooking, turn on the broiler and baste the lobster tails with the remaining garlic butter. Broil for an additional 2-3 minutes until lightly browned.

Serving

  1. 7

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove the lobster tails from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
