Lobster Tail

Method

Lobster Tail Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Lobster Tails

    Using kitchen shears, cut the top shell of the lobster tails down the center, stopping just before the tail fin. Carefully pull apart the shell slightly to expose the meat.

  2. 2

    Season the Lobster

    Drizzle olive oil over the exposed lobster meat. Sprinkle salt and black pepper evenly over each tail, ensuring to season well.

Grilling Lobster Tails

  1. 3

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, about 400°F (200°C).

  2. 4

    Grill the Lobster Tails

    Place the lobster tails meat side down on the grill. Grill for 5-7 minutes until the meat is opaque and grill marks appear. Flip the tails over and grill for another 3-5 minutes.

Garlic Butter Preparation

  1. 5

    Melt the Butter

    In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter until fully liquefied.

  2. 6

    Add Garlic and Seasoning

    Mince the garlic cloves and add to the melted butter. Stir in the chopped fresh parsley and lemon juice. Allow to simmer for 2-3 minutes for the flavors to meld.

Serving

  1. 7

    Serve the Lobster

    Remove the lobster tails from the grill and place them on a serving plate. Drizzle the garlic butter over each tail generously.

  2. 8

    Garnish and Enjoy

    Garnish with extra parsley if desired. Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
