Main Ingredients

  • 4 lb lobster tails Use fresh or thawed
  • 6 tbsp unsalted butter Melted
  • 4 clove garlic Minced
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley Chopped
  • 1 tsp paprika For color and flavor
  • 1 tsp lemon juice Freshly squeezed

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F.
  • In a small bowl, mix melted butter, minced garlic, lemon juice, and paprika.
  • Use kitchen scissors to cut the top of each lobster tail shell lengthwise.
  • Gently pull the lobster meat up through the shell and drizzle with garlic butter mixture.
  • Sprinkle chopped parsley over the lobster tails.

Notes

For an extra kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes. Serve with crusty bread to soak up the butter.
