Lobster Tails with Garlic Butter

Lobster tails broiled under a garlic butter glaze create a tender seafood dish rich in flavor. The butter is melted with garlic, parsley, paprika, and salt, then drizzled over the lobster before broiling until opaque. After cooking, additional garlic butter is brushed on for extra richness, and lemon wedges are served alongside to brighten the flavor. The method ensures a moist lobster interior with a slightly caramelized top, accented by fresh herbs and a hint of smoked paprika.
