Recipe Information
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
Instructions
Preheat the broiler in your oven to high and position the oven rack about 6 inches below the heating element.
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.
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.
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.
Place the prepared lobster tails on a baking sheet lined with foil. Brush the garlic butter generously over the lobster meat.
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.
Remove the lobster tails from the oven and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
Serve immediately with lemon wedges and your favorite side dishes, such as steamed vegetables or rice.
