Step-by-Step Instructions for Garlic Butter Lobster Tails
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Using kitchen shears, cut along the back of each lobster shell, leaving the tail intact. Pull the lobster meat upwards onto the shell.
- Arrange the lobster tails on a baking sheet, making sure to space them adequately.
- In a small bowl, combine paprika, Old Bay seasoning, kosher salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Sprinkle this mixture over the lobster tails.
- Bake for about 10 minutes until opaque and firm.
- Melt butter in a saucepan over low heat. Stir in parsley, grated garlic, lemon zest, and any remaining seasonings.
- Brush the baked lobster meat generously with garlic butter.
- Switch to broil and return the lobster tails for an additional 3 minutes until golden.
- Brush with reserved garlic butter and serve with lemon wedges.

Notes
Always use the freshest lobster tails for the best flavor. Do not overcook to avoid chewy texture.
