  • Author: Lauren Baker
  • Total Time: 50 minute

Ingredients

– 4 lobster tails
– 1/2 cup unsalted butter
– 4 cloves garlic, minced
– 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
– 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
– 1 teaspoon paprika
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– Lemon wedges, for serving


Instructions

Creating Lobster Tails with Garlic Herb Butter Sauce is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). This will ensure even cooking for the lobster tails.
2. Prepare the Lobster Tails: Use kitchen scissors to cut the top shell of the lobster tails down the center. Gently pull the meat up and out of the shell, keeping it attached at the base.
3. Make the Garlic Herb Butter: In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Stir in parsley, lemon juice, paprika, salt, and pepper.
4. Brush the Lobster: Place the lobster tails in a baking dish. Brush the garlic herb butter generously over the lobster meat.
5. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes. The lobster meat should be opaque and firm to the touch.
6. Baste Again: Halfway through baking, baste the lobster with more garlic herb butter for extra flavor and moisture.
7. Serve: Once cooked, remove the lobster tails from the oven and serve with lemon wedges and the remaining garlic herb butter for dipping.

These steps will guide you in creating this incredible dish effortlessly. Enjoy the delightful flavors of lobster combined with a rich, buttery sauce!
