TOTAL TIME
1
If frozen, thaw the lobster tails.
2
Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C).
3
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
4
Prepare the lobster tails by using kitchen shears to cut straight down the middle of the top shell towards the fins of the tail, ensuring not to cut through the fin. Gently open up the shell, pull the meat up from inside the shell without detaching it, close the empty shells together, and rest the meat on top of the seam. Place the prepared lobster tails on the baking sheet.
5
In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, paprika, salt, pepper, and lemon juice. Whisk them together.
6
Brush the lobster tails generously with the garlic butter mixture.
7
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the lobster tails for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the lobster meat turns opaque and is cooked through.
8
Remove the lobster tails from the oven, sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley and serve immediately with lemon wedges for an added burst of flavor.
