Baked Lobster Tails

INGREDIENTS:

• 8 oz lobster tail, 2 tails
• 3 tablespoons butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• 2 wedges lemon, to serve
• broccoli, cooked, to serve

DIRECTIONS:

1. cut along the middle of the top of the shell towards the fins of the tail, making sure to cut in a straight line. Do not cut through the end of the tail.
2. Using a spoon, separate the meat from the two sides of the shell, then lift the meat up and out from inside the shell.
3. Press the two sides of the shell together, then lay the meat over the seam where the two shells meet.
4. While cutting through the shell, you may have also cut into the meat, which is okay. Make a shallow cut through the middle of the lobster meat so that you can peel down the thin layer of meat over the sides. This gives the lobster tail its signature look.
5. Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C).
6. In a small bowl, combine the butter, salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, lemon juice, and parsley, then brush the mixture evenly over the lobster
