\nInstructions:<\/p>\n
Prepare the Lobster Tails:<\/p>\n
Start by thawing the lobster tails if they are frozen. Place them in the refrigerator for several hours or use a quick thawing method. To quick thaw, seal the lobster tails in a plastic bag and immerse the bag in cold water for 30-60 minutes.
\nPreheat your broiler to high and adjust the rack to the top position.
\nUse kitchen shears to cut the top of the lobster shells lengthwise down the center. This will expose the lobster meat.
\nGently lift the lobster meat from the shells, keeping it attached at the tail end. Place the meat on top of the shells.
\nPrepare the Garlic Butter Sauce: 5. In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat.<\/p>\n
Add the minced garlic and saut\u00e9 for 1-2 minutes, or until the garlic becomes fragrant but not browned.
\nRemove the saucepan from heat and stir in the fresh lemon juice and paprika. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
\nBroil the Lobster Tails: 8. Brush the garlic butter sauce generously over the exposed lobster meat.<\/p>\n
Place the lobster tails on a broiler pan or a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil.
\nBroil the lobster tails for about 10-12 minutes, or until the lobster meat is opaque and slightly browned on top. Be sure to watch closely, as cooking time may vary depending on your broiler.
\nGarnish and Serve: 11. Once the lobster tails are cooked, remove them from the broiler.<\/p>\n
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot with lemon wedges on the side.
