Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Grill

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

  2. 2

    Prepare the Lobster Tails

    Using kitchen scissors, cut the top shell of the lobster tails lengthwise down the center. Carefully pull apart the shell to expose the lobster meat.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Make the Garlic Butter

    In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant, but not browned. Remove from heat and stir in the lemon juice, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

  2. 4

    Grill the Lobster Tails

    Brush the lobster meat generously with the garlic butter mixture. Place the lobster tails on the grill, shell side down. Grill for about 7-10 minutes, or until the lobster meat is opaque and has grill marks. Brush with additional garlic butter halfway through grilling.

Serving

  1. 5

    Garnish and Serve

    Once the lobster tails are cooked, remove them from the grill. Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
