Preheat your oven broiler to 500°F (260°C) and line a baking sheet with foil.

Using kitchen shears, butterfly the lobster tails by carefully cutting the top of each shell straight down the center until you reach the tail. Gently lift the meat while keeping it attached at the base so that it rests atop the shell.

Pat the lobster tails dry with paper towels to ensure the garlic butter adheres nicely to the meat.

In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, fresh lemon juice, paprika, chopped parsley, and salt and black pepper. Mix until well blended.

Brush about half of the garlic butter mixture generously over the exposed lobster meat, ensuring it gets into all the nooks and crannies.

Place the lobster tails on the prepared baking sheet, positioning them about 5-6 inches from the broiler’s heat source. Broil for 8-10 minutes until the meat turns opaque and is slightly browned on top. Midway through cooking, spoon additional garlic butter over the tails to enhance the flavor.

Once done, remove from the oven and serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
