Broiled Lobster Tails

We were lucky to find some lobster tails on sale and took advantage.  The last time we tried lobster we boiled them...and failed.  I found a recipe on AllRecipes.com using spices and broiling in the oven...and scored!  I will list the recipe but our tails were a lot smaller than I think that recipe called for so I ended up wasting butter so just note to adjust based on the size of what you have; you only need enough to baste.
This mix brought an amazing taste to the lobster!
1/2 cup butter, melted
1/2 teaspoon paprika
White pepper to taste
Salt to taste
Preheat oven on broil.
Use baking sheet (I lined with aluminum foil).
Cut tails along top, lengthwise, using shears.  To get to meat, I cut a thick line so meat was exposed.
Baste with melted butter and sprinkle with mixed spices.
Broil about 10 minutes until meat is opaque.
