by

🔥 Instructions

1. Prep the Lobster Tails

  • Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
  • Use kitchen shears to cut down the top of each shell to expose the meat.
  • Gently lift the meat out and rest it on top of the shell, keeping it attached at the base.

2. Season and Bake

  • Mix melted butter, garlic, lemon juice, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  • Brush generously over the lobster meat.
  • Place on a foil-lined baking sheet and bake for 12–15 minutes, until opaque and tender.
  • Baste halfway through with more garlic butter for extra flavor.

3. Make the Sauce

  • In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat.
  • Add garlic and sauté until fragrant (1–2 minutes).
  • Deglaze with wine (if using), then stir in cream and simmer.
  • Whisk in Parmesan until smooth and creamy.
  • Season with salt, pepper, and stir in parsley.

4. Serve

  • Plate the lobster tails and spoon the creamy garlic butter sauce generously over them.
  • Garnish with parsley and lemon wedges.

🍽️ Pro Tips

  • For a golden finish, broil the lobster tails for 1–2 minutes at the end.
  • Pair with garlic mashed potatoes, buttered noodles, or steamed asparagus.

This dish is pure decadence—rich, garlicky, and silky smooth. Want a wine pairing or a surf-and-turf twist? I’ve got ideas.
