  • Total Time: 59 minute

Ingredients

– 2 lobster tails
– 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 tablespoon lemon juice
– 1 teaspoon paprika
– 1 teaspoon salt
– ½ teaspoon black pepper
– Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
– Lemon wedges (for serving)


Instructions

Creating this Lobster Tail Recipe is a breeze if you follow these simple steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. Prepare the Lobster Tails: Using kitchen shears, cut the top shell of the lobster tails lengthwise, stopping just before the tail fin.
3. Lift the Meat: Gently pull the lobster meat out of the shell, keeping it attached at the base. Lay the meat on top of the shell.
4. Make the Butter Mixture: In a small bowl, melt the butter. Stir in the minced garlic, lemon juice, paprika, salt, and pepper until well combined.
5. Baste the Lobster: Brush the lobster meat generously with the garlic butter mixture.
6. Bake the Lobster: Place the lobster tails on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes. The lobster is done when the meat is opaque and the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
7. Garnish: Remove from the oven and sprinkle with chopped parsley for color.
8. Serve: Plate the lobster tails and serve with lemon wedges and any remaining garlic butter for dipping.

These steps will guide you in creating a lobster dish that will impress everyone at your table.
