Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Prepare the lobster tails by cutting the top shell lengthwise with kitchen scissors.

Gently pull apart the shell to expose the meat, and lift it slightly above the shell.

In a small bowl, mix melted butter, minced garlic, lemon juice, smoked paprika, pink Himalayan salt, and black pepper.

Brush the lobster meat generously with the butter mixture.

Sprinkle bread crumbs evenly over the lobster meat.

Drizzle olive oil over the bread crumbs for added crispiness.

Place the lobster tails on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Pour white wine into the baking sheet to keep the lobster moist during baking.

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, until the lobster meat is opaque and firm.

Remove from the oven and sprinkle with fresh parsley and cayenne pepper, if desired.

Serve with lemon wedges on the side.
