Lobster Tail

Drawn Butter

Method

Preparation of Lobster Tail

  1. 1

    Prepare Lobster Tails

    Using kitchen scissors, carefully cut the top shell of the lobster tails down the middle, stopping just before the tail fin. Gently pull apart the shell to expose the meat.

  2. 2

    Season the Lobster

    Brush the exposed lobster meat with olive oil. Then, sprinkle with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Drizzle with lemon juice.

Grilling Lobster Tails

  1. 3

    Preheat Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 350°F/175°C).

  2. 4

    Grill Lobster

    Place the lobster tails on the grill, meat side down. Grill for about 5-7 minutes, then flip and grill for an additional 5-7 minutes or until the meat is opaque and cooked through.

Preparation of Drawn Butter

  1. 5

    Melt Butter

    In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter slowly. Do not let it boil.

  2. 6

    Add Flavorings

    Once melted, add minced garlic, chopped fresh parsley, and lemon zest to the butter. Stir well to combine and allow to infuse for 2-3 minutes.

Serving

  1. 7

    Serve Lobster

    Remove grilled lobster tails from the grill and place them on a serving platter. Drizzle the drawn butter over the lobster tails and serve immediately.
