### **Instructions**
1. **Prep the Lobster Tails**:
Using kitchen scissors, cut down the center of the shell lengthwise. Gently lift the lobster meat out of the shell, resting it on top while keeping it attached at the base.
2. **Make the Garlic Butter**:
In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, garlic, lemon juice, paprika (if using), salt, and pepper.
3. **Brush & Season**:
Brush the garlic butter mixture generously over the lobster meat.
4. **Cook the Lobster**:
* **Broil method** (most common): Preheat your oven’s broiler. Place lobster tails on a baking sheet and broil 5–6 inches from the heat for 8–10 minutes, or until the meat is opaque and slightly golden on top.
* **Grill method**: Preheat grill to medium-high heat and grill flesh-side up for about 8 minutes.
* **Bake method**: Bake at 425°F (220°C) for 12–15 minutes until done.
5. **Serve & Enjoy**:
Drizzle any remaining garlic butter over the lobster, garnish with parsley or chives, and serve with lemon wedges.
