Start by preparing the ingredients: gather 4 lobster tails, 1 stick of butter, fresh garlic, lemon, parsley, all-purpose seasoning, smoked paprika, and Old Bay seasoning.

Finely dice the parsley into small pieces.

Melt the stick of butter in a saucepan over medium heat.

Grate fresh garlic into the melted butter, and add Old Bay seasoning and the diced parsley.

Grate lemon zest into the butter mixture and add fresh lemon juice.

Cut down the back of each lobster tail using sharp kitchen scissors, stopping at the tail part.

Crack open the shell slightly and dislodge the lobster meat from the shell, then place the meat back on top of the shell for presentation.

Season the lobster tails with all-purpose seasoning, smoked paprika, and Old Bay seasoning.

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and prepare a baking sheet with a wire rack.

Place the lobster tails on the wire rack and bake in the oven for 10-12 minutes.

While the lobster is baking, prepare a cocktail sauce by mixing ketchup, horseradish, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, and white sugar in a bowl, then add a bit of lemon juice and refrigerate.

Slice a lemon in half and add avocado oil to a skillet, placing the lemon halves face down to char them.

After baking, brush the lobster tails with the garlic butter mixture and place them under the broiler for 3-4 minutes to get golden brown.

Plate the lobster tails with fresh parsley and charred lemon, and serve with the homemade cocktail sauce.
