Steam lobster tails in a bamboo steamer for about 5 minutes until 60% cooked.

Remove lobster tails from the steamer and let them cool slightly.

Crack open the lobster tails and extract the meat, being careful to keep it in one piece if possible.

Melt a stick of good quality butter in a small pot over low heat.

Press garlic into the melted butter and add a pinch of smoked paprika and lemon zest, then stir to combine.

In another pan, melt some more butter and add panko bread crumbs, cooking until golden brown and crispy, about 5 minutes.

Chop celery into small pieces for the lobster roll filling.

Prepare brioche rolls by splitting them down the top and toasting them in butter until golden brown.

Combine lobster meat with the garlic butter mixture and chopped celery, then fill the toasted brioche rolls with the mixture.

Top the lobster rolls with the crispy panko bread crumbs before serving.
