Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Lobster Tails

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Using kitchen scissors, carefully cut the top shell of the lobster tails down the center, stopping just before the tail fin. Gently pull the meat out and place it on top of the shell.

  2. 2

    Make the Garlic Butter

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

  3. 3

    Baste the Lobster

    Place the lobster tails in a baking dish and pour half of the garlic butter mixture over them, making sure to coat the meat evenly.

  4. 4

    Bake the Lobster

    Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the lobster meat is opaque and cooked through.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove from oven and drizzle with the remaining garlic butter. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges.
