Ingredients
– 4 lobster tails

– 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
– 1 teaspoon paprika

– Lemon wedges (for serving)
Instructions
Follow these steps to create your Lobster Tail Dinner:
1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. Prepare the Lobster Tails: Using kitchen scissors, carefully cut the top shell of each lobster tail down the middle. Gently pull the meat out of the shell and place it on top, creating a “butterfly” effect.
3. Make the Garlic Butter: In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant. Remove from heat and stir in the lemon juice, paprika, salt, and pepper.
4. Brush with Butter: Place the lobster tails on a baking sheet. Brush the garlic butter mixture generously over the lobster meat.
5. Bake the Lobster Tails: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the lobster meat is opaque and cooked through.
6. Garnish: Remove the lobster tails from the oven and sprinkle with fresh parsley for a pop of color.
7. Serve: Transfer the lobster tails to a serving platter, accompanied by lemon wedges and any additional sides you like.
These steps will guide you through preparing an incredible Lobster Tail Dinner that is sure to impress.
