Creamy Garlic Butter Lobster Tails 🦞🧄🍋

Ingredients
For the Lobster Tails:
4 lobster tails (6-8 oz each)
4 tablespoons butter, melted
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
1 teaspoon paprika
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
Lemon wedges, for serving
Instructions
Prepare the Lobster Tails:
Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Prepare Lobster Tails: Using kitchen scissors, cut down the middle of the top shell of each lobster tail, stopping just before the tail fin. Gently pull the shell apart and lift the lobster meat slightly, but leave it attached at the base.
Season the Lobster: Brush the lobster meat with melted butter and season with paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Make the Garlic Butter Sauce:
Combine Ingredients: In a small bowl, mix the remaining melted butter with minced garlic, lemon juice, and chopped parsley.
Cook the Lobster Tails:
Apply Garlic Butter: Brush or spoon the garlic butter mixture over the lobster meat.
Bake: Place the lobster tails on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the lobster meat is opaque and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 140°F (60°C). Be careful not to overcook, as lobster can become tough.
Serve:
Garnish and Serve: Remove the lobster tails from the oven and brush with any remaining garlic butter. Garnish with extra chopped parsley and lemon wedges.
Accompanying Sides: Serve with additional melted butter for dipping and your favorite side dishes, like rice, steamed vegetables, or a fresh salad.
Tips:
Lobster: For easier preparation, you can ask your fishmonger to pre-split the lobster tails for you.
Garlic Butter: You can make the garlic butter sauce ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator. Reheat it gently before using.
Cooking Time: Adjust cooking time based on the size of the lobster tails. Larger tails may require a few additional minutes.
Enjoy these luxurious Creamy Garlic Butter Lobster Tails, perfect for a special occasion or an elegant dinner at home! 🦞🧄🍋
