Ingredients
  

4 lobster tails

6 tablespoons unsalted butter

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

1 teaspoon paprika

1 teaspoon dried parsley

Salt and pepper to taste

1/2 cup heavy cream

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Lemon wedges for serving

Instructions
 

Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

    Prepare the lobster tails: Using kitchen scissors, carefully cut down the top of each lobster tail and slightly pull apart the shell to expose the meat. Place the tails on a baking sheet, cut side up.

      Make the garlic butter: In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant, but be careful not to burn it.

        Add flavor: Stir in the lemon juice, paprika, dried parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix well, then remove from heat.

          Create the creamy sauce: Stir in the heavy cream and Parmesan cheese to the garlic butter mixture, combining thoroughly until smooth and slightly thickened.

            Drizzle over lobster: Pour the creamy garlic butter sauce over each lobster tail, ensuring the meat is generously coated.

              Bake the lobster: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the lobster meat is opaque and slightly firm to the touch.

                Serve: Remove from the oven, allow to cool slightly, and serve with lemon wedges on the side for added zest. Drizzle any extra sauce over the lobster tails before serving.
