📝 Instructions:
1. Prepare the Lobster Tails:
- Butterfly the lobster tails:
- Using kitchen shears, cut down the middle of the lobster tail shells, starting from the base and cutting towards the tail. Be careful not to cut through the tail. Gently pull the meat out from the shell, resting it on top while keeping it attached at the base.

2. Make the Garlic Butter:
- Melt the butter:
- In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Add lemon juice and paprika:
- Stir in the fresh lemon juice, paprika, salt, and pepper. Remove from heat.
3. Broil the Lobster Tails:
- Brush with garlic butter:
- Place the lobster tails on a baking sheet, flesh side up. Generously brush the lobster meat with the garlic butter mixture.
- Broil:
- Broil the lobster tails for 6-8 minutes, or until the meat is opaque and lightly browned on top. Keep an eye on them to avoid overcooking.
4. Serve:
- Garnish:
- Remove the lobster tails from the oven and brush with more garlic butter. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges.
- Enjoy:
- Serve the Broiled Lobster Tails with your favorite sides like garlic mashed potatoes, grilled vegetables, or a fresh green salad for a complete feast.
