Method
Preparation
Prepare the Lobster Tails
Preheat the broiler in your oven. Using kitchen scissors, carefully cut the top shell of the lobster tails down the center, stopping just before the tail fin. Gently pull the lobster meat out of the shell and lay it on top, while keeping it attached at the base.
Season the Lobster
In a small bowl, mix melted butter, lemon juice, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Brush this mixture generously over the lobster meat.
Broil the Lobster
Place the lobster tails on a baking sheet and broil for about 8-10 minutes, or until the lobster meat is opaque and cooked through. Remember to baste with the butter mixture halfway through.
