Instructions
1. Prepare the Lobster Tails
-
Using kitchen scissors, cut the top shell of each lobster tail lengthwise from the opening to the base of the tail, stopping just before the fin.
-
Gently spread the shell apart and lift the lobster meat, resting it on top of the shell while keeping it attached at the base.
-
Pat the meat dry with paper towels.
2. Make the Garlic Butter Sauce
-
In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, minced garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest, parsley, paprika, salt, and pepper.
3. Season and Broil
-
Preheat your oven’s broiler to high (500°F / 260°C). Position the rack about 6 inches from the heat source.
-
Place the prepared lobster tails on a baking sheet. Brush generously with the garlic butter mixture.
-
Broil for 5–8 minutes, depending on tail size, until the meat is opaque and slightly browned on top. Avoid overcooking to maintain tenderness.
4. Serve
-
Garnish with extra parsley and a squeeze of fresh lemon.
-
Serve immediately with additional melted butter for dipping, alongside sides like roasted vegetables, garlic mashed potatoes, or a crisp green salad.
