Easy Lemon Butter Broiled Lobster Tails

1. Preheat the broiler in your oven and make sure the top rack is 7-8" from the broiler.
2. With kitchen scissors, cut down the top center of the lobster tail shell until you hit the tail fins; pry open the shell and loosen the lobster meat from the top and bottom (keeping the end of the meat near the tail fins attached); lift the meat out of the shell (again keeping the end in tact) and place it on top of the closed shell (the meat will fall above the seam that you cut).
3. Heat up butter in the microwave until melted and add a squeeze of lemon juice; brush the lemon butter mixture on the lobster and then sprinkle with salt and paprika.
4. Broil one minute per oz. (for example a 4 oz. lobster tail with shell on should broil for 4 minutes), lobster tails should be 4-5” from the broiler; remove from the oven and sprinkle with parsley on top.
5. Serve with lemon and butter on the side and enjoy!
