• 3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted

• 1 tsp fresh lemon juice

Equipment

Step-by-Step (Garlic Butter Bliss)

1. Prep lobster tails: Using kitchen shears, cut the top shell lengthwise down to the tail. Gently lift the meat and rest it on top of the shell for presentation.
2. Make garlic butter: In a small bowl, combine melted butter, minced garlic, lemon juice, paprika, salt, and pepper.
3. Brush & season: Place lobster tails on a baking sheet. Brush generously with the garlic butter mixture.
4. Broil: Set oven rack 6 inches from the heat. Broil tails for 8–10 minutes, until the meat is opaque and slightly browned on top.
5. Serve: Drizzle with remaining garlic butter, garnish with parsley, and serve with lemon wedges.

Fish Foodies Pro Tips

• Butter is key: Baste lobster tails halfway through cooking for extra flavor.
• Perfect timing: Avoid overcooking—lobster should be opaque and tender, never rubbery.
• Pairings: Serve with a crisp white wine, roasted asparagus, or garlic mashed potatoes.

Bonus Dipping Sauce

Whisk 2 tbsp melted butter with 1 tsp lemon juice and a pinch of cayenne. Serve warm alongside lobster tails for dipping.

Make-Ahead & Storage

Cooked lobster tails keep up to 2 days refrigerated. To reheat, steam gently for 2–3 minutes or warm in the oven, covered, at low heat to keep them moist. Leftovers are amazing tossed with pasta or folded into a lobster roll.
