Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Lobster Tails

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

  2. 2

    Preheat Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Cooking

  1. 3

    Make Garlic Butter

    In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and cook for about 2 minutes until fragrant but not browned. Stir in the lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and paprika.

  2. 4

    Apply Butter Mixture

    Brush the garlic butter mixture generously over the lobster meat, making sure to cover it evenly.

  3. 5

    Bake the Lobster

    Place the lobster tails on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the lobster meat is opaque and cooked through.

Serving

  1. 6

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove the lobster tails from the oven. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side for an extra burst of flavor.
