Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Lobster Tails

    Use kitchen scissors to cut the top shell of the lobster tails lengthwise. Be careful not to cut the meat beneath. Gently pull the lobster meat out from the shell and lay it on top.

  2. 2

    Preheat Oven

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

  3. 3

    Melt the Butter

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

Cooking

  1. 4

    Add Lobster to Baking Dish

    Place the prepared lobster tails in a baking dish, meat side up.

  2. 5

    Baste with Butter Mixture

    Using a brush, generously baste the lobster meat with the melted butter mixture.

  3. 6

    Bake the Lobster Tails

    Bake the lobster tails in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until the meat is opaque and cooked through.

  4. 7

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove from the oven, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and serve immediately with any remaining butter sauce on the side.
