Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). If your oven tends to run hot, lower it to 400°F.

Using kitchen shears, cut the top of each lobster shell lengthwise, then gently pull apart to expose the meat.

Lift the meat over the shell while keeping it attached at the base.

In a small bowl, combine melted butter, minced garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest, parsley, salt, and pepper until well mixed.

Generously brush the garlic butter mixture over the exposed lobster meat.

Place the lobster tails on a baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes until the meat is opaque and the internal temperature reaches 140°F.

Remove from oven, let rest for 5 minutes, and garnish with parsley and paprika before serving.
