A luxurious seafood treat with rich, buttery flavors that’s perfect for any occasion!
📝 Ingredients:
4 lobster tails
4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 tsp paprika
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 tsp chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)
Lemon wedges (for serving)
🍴 Instructions:
1️⃣ Prepare the Lobster Tails:
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) or set your broiler to high.
Using kitchen shears, cut down the top of each lobster shell lengthwise, stopping just before the tail fin.
Gently pull the lobster meat out and rest it on top of the shell for presentation.
2️⃣ Make the Garlic Butter Sauce:
In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter, minced garlic, lemon juice, paprika, salt, and pepper.
3️⃣ Baste the Lobster Tails:
Place the prepared lobster tails on a baking sheet.
Generously brush the garlic butter sauce over the lobster meat.
4️⃣ Cook the Lobster Tails:
Bake: For 10–12 minutes, or until the lobster meat is opaque and lightly golden.
Broil: For 6–8 minutes, keeping a close watch to avoid overcooking.
5️⃣ Serve:
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges for an elegant finishing touch.
📋 Tips:
Avoid Overcooking: Lobster tails should be opaque and firm, but still tender.
Extra Flavor: For added richness, drizzle more melted garlic butter over the tails before serving.
