• Defrost lobster tail in the refrigerator overnight or submerge tails in a large bowl of cool water for 30- 40 minutes. You know theyre ready when then top can easily bend and touch the tail.

• Remove tails and place in a bowl of ice cold water to cool about 3 minutes.
• Using shears, cut down the center of each tail to remove the meat. Remove the vein.
• Chop the meat into bite-size pieces and set aside.
• Heat the butter, lemon juice, and garlic powder in sauce pan, stirring to combine and add lobster meat. Saute about 2 minutes.
• Transfer meat to a bowl and add mayo, parsley, and paprika and gently combine adding salt and pepper to taste. Cover and refrigerate for an hour.
• Melt 2-3 Tbsps. butter in the microwave and brush the inside of the buns. Place in a skillet over medium-high heat and toast. You can toast the outside of the buns if you choose.
• Place lobster inside the toasted buns and eat!
