Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Lobster Tails

    Using kitchen scissors, carefully cut down the top of each lobster tail shell, stopping just before the tail fin. Gently pull the meat out of the shell, keeping it attached at the base, and lay it on top of the shell.

  2. 2

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it's ready for baking the lobster tails.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Make the Garlic Butter

    In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

  2. 4

    Add Seasonings

    Stir in lemon juice, paprika, salt, and black pepper into the melted garlic butter. Mix well to combine.

  3. 5

    Brush the Lobster Meat

    Generously brush the lobster meat with the prepared garlic butter mixture, ensuring it is well coated.

  4. 6

    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.

  5. 7

    Garnish and Serve

    Once cooked, remove the lobster tails from the oven. Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges and fresh herbs, if desired.
