🔥 Directions
1️⃣ Prepare the Lobster Tails
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Pat the lobster tails dry and season with paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
Sear the lobster tails for 2 minutes per side, then remove from heat.

In the same skillet, melt the butter and sauté the minced garlic until fragrant (about 1 minute).
Stir in the heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice.
Let the sauce simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
3️⃣ Bake the Lobster Tails
Spoon some of the sauce over the lobster tails.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 5-7 minutes, or until the lobster is cooked through and tender.
4️⃣ Serve & Enjoy!
Drizzle more sauce over the lobster tails and garnish with fresh parsley.
Serve warm with sides like garlic mashed potatoes or roasted vegetables.
