Ingredients:

Ezoic
For the Broiled Lobster Tails:

Ezoic
4 lobster tails
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon paprika
Salt and black pepper, to taste
Fresh parsley, for garnish
Lemon wedges, for serving
Instructions:

Prepare the Lobster Tails:

Start by thawing the lobster tails if they are frozen. Place them in the refrigerator for several hours or use a quick thawing method. To quick thaw, seal the lobster tails in a plastic bag and immerse the bag in cold water for 30-60 minutes.
Preheat your broiler to high and adjust the rack to the top position.
Use kitchen shears to cut the top of the lobster shells lengthwise down the center. This will expose the lobster meat.
Gently lift the lobster meat from the shells, keeping it attached at the tail end. Place the meat on top of the shells.
Prepare the Garlic Butter Sauce: 5. In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat.

Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes, or until the garlic becomes fragrant but not browned.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the fresh lemon juice and paprika. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Broil the Lobster Tails: 8. Brush the garlic butter sauce generously over the exposed lobster meat.
