Ingredients

• 2 pieces Lobster tails
• 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the broiler in your oven to high and position the oven rack about 6 inches below the heating element.

Step 2

Using scissors or a sharp knife, cut through the top shell of each lobster tail, starting from the base to the tip of the tail. Be careful not to cut into the meat.

Step 3

Gently loosen the lobster meat from the shell, then lift it slightly to rest on top of the shell. Leave the end of the tail meat attached.

Step 4

Mince the garlic cloves and chop the parsley into fine pieces. Melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat, then stir in the minced garlic, lemon juice, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, then remove from heat.

Step 5

Place the prepared lobster tails on a baking sheet lined with foil. Brush the garlic butter generously over the lobster meat.

Step 6

Broil the lobster tails for 6-8 minutes, or until the meat is opaque and slightly browned on top. Baste once with more garlic butter halfway through cooking.

Step 7

Remove the lobster tails from the oven and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.

Step 8

Serve immediately with lemon wedges and your favorite side dishes, such as steamed vegetables or rice.
