Instructions

1. Prepare the Lobster Tails

1. Use kitchen scissors to cut the shell down the center, stopping before the tail fin.

2. Gently lift the lobster meat out and place it on top of the shell (but keep it attached at the base).

3. Pat dry with a paper towel so the seasoning sticks better.

4. Brush with olive oil.

5. Season with salt, pepper, paprika, and (optional) chili flakes.

Gen Z tip: Make it aesthetic, make it chef’s kiss.

Tips for Maximum Flavor

• Don’t overcook, otherwise the lobster turns rubbery.

• Add a little honey or brown sugar to the butter mix to get that glossy golden finish like in the pic.

• You can also torch the top 20–30 sec if you want the restaurant-style caramelization.
