Ingredients:
4 lobster tails (6-8 oz each)
4 tbsp unsalted butter (melted)
3 garlic cloves (minced)
2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 tsp lemon zest
1 tsp paprika
Salt and pepper to taste
Optional: Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions:
Prepare the Lobster Tails:
Preheat your oven to broil.
Use kitchen scissors to cut along the top shell of each lobster tail, stopping at the base of the tail.
Gently pull the meat up and rest it on top of the shell while keeping it attached at the tail base.
Make the Lemon Garlic Butter:
In a small bowl, mix melted butter, minced garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest, paprika, salt, and pepper.
Brush the Lobster Tails:
Place the prepared lobster tails on a baking sheet lined with foil.
Generously brush the lobster meat with the lemon garlic butter mixture.
Broil the Lobster Tails:
Broil the lobster tails in the preheated oven for 6-8 minutes, or until the meat is opaque and slightly golden on top.
Serve:
Drizzle any remaining butter mixture over the cooked lobster tails.
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges for extra zest.
