1
Clean and Prepare Lobster Tails
Using kitchen shears, carefully cut down the top of the lobster tail shell, stopping just before the tail fin. Gently pull the shell apart to expose the meat without completely removing it.
2
Season the Lobster
In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Brush this mixture generously over the exposed lobster meat.

3
Preheat the Grill
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F to 400°F).
4
Grill the Lobster Tails
Place the lobster tails meat-side down on the grill. Close the lid and grill for approximately 5-7 minutes. Flip the tails over and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes or until the meat is opaque and cooked through.

5
Melt the Butter
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter. Once melted, remove from heat and stir in lemon juice. Optionally, sprinkle chopped fresh parsley for added flavor.

6
Plate and Serve
Carefully remove the lobster tails from the grill. Serve immediately with the drawn butter on the side for dipping.
