Instructions
Creating Juicy Lobster Tails With Garlic Butter Fast is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. Prepare the Lobster Tails: Using kitchen scissors, cut the top shell of the lobster tails down the center, stopping just before the tail end. Gently pull the meat up through the opening, keeping it attached at the base.
3. Make the Garlic Butter: In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Stir in lemon juice, paprika, salt, and pepper.
4. Brush the Lobster: Place the lobster tails on a baking sheet. Brush the garlic butter mixture generously over the lobster meat.
5. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 8-10 minutes, or until the lobster meat is opaque and cooked through.
6. Baste Again: Halfway through the cooking time, baste the lobster tails with the remaining garlic butter for added flavor.
7. Garnish and Serve: Once cooked, remove from the oven and garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
These steps will guide you in creating these incredible lobster tails effortlessly.
