Description

Dive into decadence with these Creamy Garlic Butter Lobster Tails! Perfect for a fancy dinner or just treating yourself because you deserve it. Decadence awaits in every buttery, garlicky bite!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 lobster tails
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

Prep Time!

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Let’s get this kitchen party started!

Butter Bath:

Melt your butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Once the butter has melted, toss in the minced garlic, letting it sizzle for about a minute until fragrant. Stir in the lemon juice, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Give it a good mix and take it off the heat.

Lobster Love:

Using kitchen shears, cut through the top shell of the lobster tails, from the open end straight down to the base. Pull the shells apart slightly to expose the meat.

Brush & Bake:

Place your lobster tails on a baking sheet and brush them generously with the garlic butter sauce. Make sure each tail gets the loving it deserves!

Bake Away:

Pop those beauties into the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the lobster meat is opaque and thoroughly cooked. Keep an eye out for that perfect golden hue!

Garnish & Serve:

Take the lobster tails out, drizzle any remaining garlic butter over them, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and serve immediately. Dive in and enjoy your masterpiece!
