Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Lobster Tails

    Using kitchen shears, cut the top shell of each lobster tail lengthwise down the center, taking care not to cut the meat. Gently pull the shell apart and lift the lobster meat, resting it on top of the shell.

  2. 2

    Make the Garlic Butter

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

  3. 3

    Baste the Lobster

    Preheat the broiler in your oven. Brush the lobster meat generously with the garlic butter mixture.

  4. 4

    Broil the Lobster Tails

    Place the lobster tails on a baking sheet and broil for about 8-10 minutes, or until the meat is opaque and cooked through.

  5. 5

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove the lobster tails from the oven, drizzle any remaining garlic butter over the top, and garnish with chopped parsley. Serve immediately.
