Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Lobster Tails

    Using kitchen shears, cut the top of the lobster tails down the middle to expose the meat. Gently pull the meat out and lay it on top of the shell.

  2. 2

    Make the Garlic Butter

    In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add minced garlic (from the whole garlic cloves), lemon juice, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir until well combined and heated through.

  3. 3

    Season the Lobster

    Brush the lobster meat with olive oil and season it with salt and black pepper. Drizzle the garlic butter mixture generously over the lobster meat.

Grilling

  1. 4

    Preheat the Grill

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

  2. 5

    Grill the Lobster Tails

    Place the lobster tails on the grill, shell side down. Grill for about 5-7 minutes. Then, flip them over and grill for an additional 3-5 minutes until the meat is opaque and cooked through.

  3. 6

    Serve

    Remove the lobster tails from the grill and drizzle any remaining garlic butter over the top. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
