📋 𝗜𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀:

1️⃣ Prepare the Lobster Tails:
Using kitchen scissors, cut the top of each lobster shell lengthwise down the middle. Gently pull the meat out, resting it on top of the shell while keeping it attached at the base.

2️⃣ Season & Broil:
Preheat the broiler to high. In a small bowl, mix melted butter, minced garlic, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Brush the mixture over the lobster meat. Place lobster tails on a baking sheet and broil for 8-10 minutes until opaque and slightly golden.

3️⃣ Make the Lemon Butter Sauce:
In a saucepan over medium heat, melt butter and sauté minced garlic until fragrant (about 1 minute). Stir in lemon juice, heavy cream, cayenne (if using), salt, and pepper. Simmer for 2 minutes until creamy.

4️⃣ Serve & Enjoy:
Drizzle the warm lemon butter sauce over the broiled lobster tails. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges for an extra citrusy kick!
