Ingredients
- 2 lobster tails
- 2 tbsp melted butter
- 1 tsp minced garlic
- ½ tsp paprika
- fresh parsley to garnish
Instructions
- First, preheat oven to 500 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Prepare the lobster tails. Use kitchen scissors to slice down the center of each lobster tail shell.
- Then, use your hands to loosen up the lobster meat. Pull the meat upward and settle it on top of the lobster shell. See photos above for reference.
- Place these butterflied lobster tails on a pan.
- In a small bowl, combine melted butter, minced garlic and paprika.
- Pour the melted butter mixture all over lobster meat.
- Cook for 9 to 10 minutes or until meat is opaque and no longer translucent.
- Finally, carefully remove from oven. Top with fresh parsley and more butter if desired.
Notes
- Use thawed lobster tails. If you only have frozen, thaw completely before making this recipe.
- See above in the blog post for step by step photos for how to butterfly the tails.
- Feel free to season with salt and pepper if desired.
- Do not cook too long.
- Be careful opening the oven door. The temperature is very hot!
- Serve with a slice of lemon if desired.
