Main Ingredients
- 2 oz Lobster Tails Thawed if frozen
- 2 tablespoons Butter Melted
- 1 clove Garlic Minced
- 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice Freshly squeezed
- 0.25 teaspoon Paprika Optional
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt To taste
- 0.125 teaspoon Black Pepper To taste
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Using kitchen shears, cut down the center of the lobster tail shell, stopping before the tail fin. Gently separate the shell to expose the lobster meat.
- In a small bowl, whisk together melted butter, minced garlic, lemon juice, paprika (if using), salt, and pepper.
- Brush the lobster meat generously with the butter mixture.
- Place the lobster tails on a baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the lobster meat is opaque and cooked through.
- Serve immediately with extra melted butter or lemon wedges, if desired.
Notes
For a richer flavor, you can add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the butter mixture. Be careful not to overcook the lobster, as it can become tough.
