👩🍳 Instructions
1. Prepare the lobster tails
- Use kitchen scissors to cut the top shell down the center, stopping before the tail fin.
- Gently pull the meat up and rest it on top of the shell (“butterfly” style).
- Remove any veins and pat the meat dry.
2. Make the garlic butter
Mix:
- Melted butter
- Garlic
- Lemon juice
- Parsley
- Paprika
- Salt & pepper
Brush generously over the lobster meat.
3. Broil (or bake)
Place lobster tails on a baking sheet.
Broil method (best):
