Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lobster tails
- 4 tablespoons melted butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Cut the lobster tails in half lengthwise and place them on a baking sheet.
- Make a small cut down the top of each shell and slide your fingers to open it. Lay the meat neatly on the shell for even baking.
- Mix the melted butter, garlic, paprika, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Brush the mixture over the lobster meat.
- Bake for about 15-20 minutes until the lobster is cooked through and the meat is opaque. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
For a lighter version, reduce the butter slightly and serve with a lemon-herb salsa on the side. To reheat, warm in a low oven around 275°F until heated through, brushing with melted butter before warming.
