Ingredients:

  • 4 cold-water lobster tails (approx. 6 oz each)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 0.5 tsp sea salt
  • 0.25 tsp cracked black pepper
  • 115g unsalted butter, melted
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 0.5 tsp lemon zest

Instructions:

  1. Using kitchen shears, cut down the center of the top shell toward the tail, stopping just before the fin. Use your thumbs to gently spread the shell apart and pull the meat upward, resting it on top of the joined shell.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, minced garlic, smoked paprika, lemon juice, lemon zest, and fresh parsley.
  3. Arrange the prepared lobster tails on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush the meat with olive oil and season with sea salt and cracked black pepper.
  4. Brush the signature herb butter generously over the exposed lobster meat, ensuring every crevice is coated.
  5. Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 12–15 minutes until shells are vibrant red and the internal temperature of the meat reaches 140°F (60°C).
