Directions
- Butterfly the Lobster Tails: Using sharp kitchen scissors, cut the top shell of each lobster tail lengthwise. Gently lift the meat out of the shell, resting it on top for a beautiful presentation.
- Prepare the Garlic Herb Butter: In a small bowl, mix melted butter, minced garlic, lemon juice, paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Brush and Bake: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the lobster tails in a foil-lined baking dish or tray. Brush generously with the garlic butter mixture. Bake for 12–14 minutes, until the lobster meat is opaque and cooked through.
- Broil for a Golden Finish: Switch the oven to broil on high and cook 1–2 minutes until the tops are lightly browned and bubbling. Watch closely to avoid burning.
- Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley and lemon wedges. Serve hot with your favorite sides—these lobster tails shine on their own or paired with garlic butter pasta, roasted vegetables, or a crisp salad.
