Grilled Lobster Tails with Garlic Butter

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

2. 2

   Using kitchen shears, cut through the top shell of each lobster tail lengthwise. Carefully pull apart the shells slightly and loosen the meat from the shell (keeping the meat attached at the base).

3. 3

   In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned.

4. 4

   Remove the butter from heat and stir in the lemon juice, smoked paprika, chopped parsley, and salt and pepper to taste.

5. 5

   Brush the garlic butter mixture over the lobster meat in each tail.

6. 6

   Place the lobster tails on the preheated grill, flesh side down, and grill for about 4-5 minutes until the shells are bright red.

7. 7

   Flip the lobster tails over and spoon a bit more of the garlic butter mixture onto the flesh. Grill for another 4-5 minutes, or until the lobster meat is opaque and cooked through.

8. 8

   Remove the lobster tails from the grill and serve immediately with additional garlic butter and lemon wedges.
