- Kitchen shears
- Meat thermometer
Directions
Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Line a sheet pan with foil; set aside.
Combine butter, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper in a small saucepan. Cook over low heat until butter is melted. Remove from heat. Stir in 1 tablespoon parsley. Reserve half of the butter sauce for serving; use remaining for brush-on sauce.
Using kitchen shears, cut through the top of the lobster shells, down the center, just to the tails. Split the shells. Use thumbs and fingers to spread shells open. Gently loosen lobster meat from shells, then pull meat away from bottom shells, leaving tail portions attached. Close shells and carefully place row of meat on top.
Place lobsters in prepared pan. Brush with butter brush-on sauce. Bake until meat is opaque and lightly browned (145 degrees), allowing 4 to 6 minutes for 4-oz. lobsters and 8 to 10 minutes for 8-oz. lobsters.
