Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Lobster Tails

    Using kitchen shears, carefully cut through the top of the lobster shells to expose the meat. Do not cut all the way through; leave the tail attached at the bottom.

  2. 2

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

  3. 3

    Make the Garlic Butter Mixture

    In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add minced garlic, lemon juice, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir until combined and remove from heat.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Baste the Lobster

    Place the lobster tails in a baking dish. Gently pull the lobster meat slightly out of the shell and baste generously with the garlic butter mixture.

  2. 5

    Bake the Lobster

    Bake the lobster tails in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the meat is opaque and cooked through.

  3. 6

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove the lobster tails from the oven, drizzle with any remaining garlic butter, and garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
