Garlic Butter Broiled Lobster Tails

step 1 Preheat the oven broiler to high and position the oven rack 6 inches from the heat source.
step 2 Using kitchen shears, cut down the top of the lobster shell lengthwise and gently pull the meat out to sit on top of the shell.
step 3 In a small bowl, mix melted butter, garlic, lemon juice, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
step 4 Place the prepared lobster tails on a baking sheet and brush generously with the garlic butter mixture.
step 5 Broil the lobster tails for 8-10 minutes, or until the meat is opaque and lightly browned on top.
step 6 Remove from oven and spoon any remaining butter sauce over the lobster.
step 7 Garnish with chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges.

Storage and Reheating Tips

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in a covered baking dish at 300°F (150°C) for 8-10 minutes, adding a little butter or water to keep them moist. Avoid microwaving to preserve the delicate texture.
