Instructions:
1️⃣ Prepare the Lobster Tails:
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Using kitchen scissors, cut along the top of each lobster shell lengthwise. Gently lift the meat, keeping it attached at the tail, and place it on top of the shell. 🦞✂️

2️⃣ Make the Butter Mixture:
In a small bowl, mix melted butter, minced garlic, lemon juice, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and black pepper until well combined. 🧈🧄🌶️

3️⃣ Coat the Lobster:
Generously brush the lobster meat with the butter mixture, ensuring it’s well coated for maximum flavor. 🖌️🦞

4️⃣ Bake the Lobster:
Place the lobster tails on a baking sheet and bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the meat turns opaque and slightly golden on top. 🔥🍽️

5️⃣ Finish and Garnish:
Remove from the oven and brush with any remaining butter sauce. Sprinkle chopped parsley over the top for a fresh touch. 🌿🧈

6️⃣ Serve and Enjoy:
Plate the lobster tails with lemon wedges on the side for an extra burst of citrusy flavor. Serve hot and savor the buttery, garlicky goodness! 🍋✨
