Lobster Tail

Garlic Butter

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Lobster Tails

    Using kitchen scissors, cut along the top shell of each lobster tail, stopping just before the end. Gently pull apart the shell and lift the lobster meat slightly out, keeping it attached at the base.

  2. 2

    Season the Lobster

    Brush the lobster meat with olive oil and season with salt and black pepper. Set aside while you prepare the garlic butter.

Garlic Butter Preparation

  1. 3

    Melt the Butter

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

  2. 4

    Add Garlic and Parsley

    Finely chop the garlic cloves and add them to the melted butter. Cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, then stir in the chopped parsley and lemon juice. Remove from heat.

Grilling

  1. 5

    Preheat the Grill

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

  2. 6

    Grill the Lobster Tails

    Place the prepared lobster tails shell-side down on the grill. Grill for about 5-7 minutes, basting with the garlic butter halfway through.

  3. 7

    Finish Grilling

    Once the lobster meat is opaque and cooked through, remove from the grill and drizzle with more garlic butter before serving.
