Creamy Garlic Butter Lobster Tails

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Using kitchen scissors, carefully cut through the top shell of each lobster tail. Gently pull the lobster meat out and lay it over the shell. This technique not only ensures even cooking but also presents the lobster beautifully.

Season the Lobster:
Brush the exposed lobster meat with the melted butter. Sprinkle paprika, salt, and black pepper over the lobster, ensuring an even coating for maximum flavor.

Roast to Perfection:
Arrange the lobster tails on a baking sheet and place them in the preheated oven. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the lobster meat turns opaque and tender. The lobster should be perfectly cooked and ready to enjoy.

Make the Creamy Garlic Sauce:
While the lobster is roasting, heat a pan over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter. Once melted, sauté the minced garlic for about 30 seconds, until fragrant. Pour in the heavy cream, then add the Dijon mustard and grated Parmesan cheese. Stir continuously until the mixture is smooth and well combined.

Add the Finishing Touches:
Stir in the lemon juice and let the sauce simmer on low for 2 minutes. This adds a zesty kick that balances out the richness of the sauce, creating a perfect complement to the lobster.

Assemble & Serve:
Once the lobster tails are roasted, drizzle the creamy garlic butter sauce generously over the lobster. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley to add a pop of color and freshness. Serve immediately and enjoy this decadent seafood dish!
