Lobster Tail Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Lobster Tails

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Using kitchen scissors, cut the top shell of each lobster tail lengthwise, stopping just before the tail fin. Gently pull apart the shell to expose the meat.

  2. 2

    Season the Lobster

    In a small bowl, melt the butter and mix in minced garlic, lemon juice, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Brush this mixture generously over the lobster meat.

  3. 3

    Bake the Lobster

    Place the lobster tails on a baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the meat is opaque and cooked through.

  4. 4

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove the lobster tails from the oven, drizzle with any remaining butter mixture, and garnish with chopped parsley. Serve immediately with lemon wedges.
