Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).

Using kitchen shears, carefully cut the top of the lobster shell lengthwise, being cautious not to cut too deep.

Gently pull apart the shell to expose the meat, then carefully lift the lobster meat out of the shell, leaving it attached at the base.

In a small bowl, mix together melted butter, minced garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest, chopped parsley, salt, and pepper until well combined.

Generously brush the lobster meat with the garlic butter mixture, ensuring even coverage.

Place the lobster tails on a baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the meat is opaque and tender.

Remove from the oven and let rest for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with additional parsley and paprika if desired.
