Ingredients
- 4 lobster tails
- ½ cup good-quality butter (melted)

- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (finely chopped)
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
- Extra melted butter (for serving, optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 500°F (260°C) and prepare a baking sheet.
- Butterfly the lobster tails by cutting the top of the shell and pulling the meat out slightly.
- Combine melted butter, garlic, lemon zest, paprika, parsley, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
- Brush the garlic herb butter over the lobster meat generously.
- Arrange the lobster tails on the baking sheet and add lemon slices around.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes until the lobster is opaque and reaches an internal temperature of 140°F (60°C).

Notes
For best results, ensure lobster tails are fresh. Don’t overcook, as this can make the meat rubbery.
