INGREDIENTS

• 6 lobster tails (1/2 pound each), fresh or frozen
• 1 cup melted butter or margarine, divided in half
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• Paprika
• 10 to 12 lettuce leaves, rinsed and drained

DIRECTIONS

• Thaw lobster if frozen. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Pan-cut lobster tails by cutting off the under shell, leaving the tail fan and upper shell in place. Place lobster, shell side down, on baking sheet; add garlic powder and salt to 1/2 cup butter and brush onto lobster meat; sprinkle with paprika.
• Cover tails completely with damp lettuce leaves and bake at 400 degrees for 15 to 20 minutes or until lobster meat is opaque and tender.
• Discard lettuce leaves. Serve with remaining melted butter.
