📝 Ingredients:
4 lobster tails (4-6 oz each)
4 tbsp butter, melted
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp lemon juice
1/2 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
1/2 cup heavy cream (for extra creamy sauce, optional)
Lemon wedges (for serving)
🍽️ Directions:
1️⃣ Prepare the Lobster Tails:
Preheat the oven to broil (500°F / 260°C).
Using kitchen scissors, cut the top shell of each lobster tail down the center.
Gently pull the lobster meat up and place it over the shell.
2️⃣ Make the Garlic Butter Sauce:
In a bowl, mix melted butter, minced garlic, lemon juice, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Brush half of the sauce over the lobster meat.
3️⃣ Broil the Lobster:
Place lobster tails on a baking sheet.
Broil for 6-8 minutes, or until the meat is opaque and slightly golden.
4️⃣ Finish with More Sauce:
If using heavy cream, whisk it into the remaining butter sauce and heat for 1 minute.
Drizzle the warm sauce over the broiled lobster.
5️⃣ Serve & Garnish:
Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges.
