- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional)

Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the lobster meat evenly and thoroughly.
- Prepare Lobster: Place the chopped lobster meat into a medium-sized baking dish, ensuring an even layer for consistent cooking.
- Make Butter Mixture: In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, fresh lemon juice, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper until well combined to create a flavorful sauce.
- Coat Lobster: Pour the butter mixture evenly over the lobster meat, then gently toss or stir to coat all pieces thoroughly with the seasoned butter.
- Bake: Bake the lobster in the preheated oven for 15–20 minutes, or until the lobster is warmed through and the butter sauce is bubbling.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven, garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired, and serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for added brightness.
Notes
- This dish pairs wonderfully with rice, pasta, or crusty bread to soak up the delicious buttery sauce.
- For extra richness, consider adding a splash of white wine or a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese over the lobster before baking.
