Gently pull the meat out of the shell, leaving it attached at the base.

Melt butter and olive oil in a skillet over medium heat until foamy.

Add minced garlic to the skillet and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds.

Place the lobster tails meat-side down in the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes until browned.

Flip the lobster tails and drizzle with lemon juice, salt, pepper, and paprika.

Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the meat is opaque and cooked through.

Remove from heat and sprinkle with chopped parsley before serving.
