📝 Ingredients:

• 4 lobster tails

• 4 tablespoons butter, melted

• 3 cloves garlic, minced

• 1 teaspoon paprika

• 1 teaspoon lemon juice

• Salt & pepper, to taste

• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

• Lemon wedges, for serving

🧑‍🍳 Instructions:

1. Prep the lobster tails:

   • Using kitchen shears, cut down the center of the top shell of each lobster tail.

   • Gently pull the meat out and place it on top of the shell (but still attached at the base). This is called “piggybacking” — it helps the meat cook evenly and look amazing.

2. Make garlic butter:

   • In a bowl, mix melted butter, minced garlic, paprika, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.

3. Season the lobster:

   • Brush the garlic butter generously over the lobster meat.

   • Save some for basting during grilling.

4. Grill (or broil) the tails:

   • Grill method: Preheat grill to medium-high. Place tails meat-side up on foil or a grill-safe pan. Grill for 8–10 minutes, basting halfway, until opaque and slightly charred.

   • Oven method: Broil on high (about 5–6 inches from heat) for 8–10 minutes, brushing with garlic butter halfway through.

5. Serve it up:

   • Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges.

🍽️ Tips:

• Add a dash of Cajun seasoning or Old Bay for a spicy twist.

• Pair with rice, roasted potatoes, or crusty bread to soak up that butter.
