Garlic Butter Lobster Tails Irresistible Flavor Boost

Ingredients

• 4 pieces lobster tails
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• 0.5 teaspoon paprika
• to taste salt and pepper
• as needed lemon wedges for garnish

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. Using a sharp kitchen scissors, cut the top shell of each lobster tail lengthwise, stopping just before the tail fin. Carefully pull the meat out slightly, creating a shelf of lobster meat resting on top of the shell.
3. In a saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter.
4. Add minced garlic to the melted butter and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, but not browned.
5. Stir in chopped parsley, lemon juice, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine.
6. Place the lobster tails on a baking sheet, and spoon a generous amount of garlic butter mixture over each tail, ensuring the meat absorbs the flavors.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the lobster meat is opaque and cooked through. If desired, broil for an additional 2 minutes for a crispy top.
8. Remove from the oven and drizzle any remaining garlic butter over the lobster tails.
9. Serve immediately, garnished with lemon wedges and additional parsley if desired.
