Succulent Grilled Lobster Tails Recipe

Prepare Lobster Tails for Grilling

Using a heavy blade, set lobster tails on a cutting board and split each down the center along its length. Be careful to hold down the lobster tightly while cutting as the shells don’t crack easily.

Leave tail fins intact and place meat-side facing up and ready for seasoning.

Seasoning Your Lobster Tails

With meat side facing up, sprinkle some salt and pepper then let down some olive drizzles on the meat. Set aside.

Fire up your grill.

Put three sticks of unsalted butter in a pan to melt on low heat.

Add the remaining ingredients to the melting butter: minced fresh garlic, red pepper, juice of one lemon, fresh parsley.

Allow butter and seasonings to melt and blend nicely for a few minutes.

Get Grilling

Place lobster tails meat side down on grill rack over medium heat. Baste the shell with the seasoning mixture and allow to cook for 5 minutes.

Using tongs, dip each lobster into the pan of seasoning mixture until thoroughly coated and place back on grill rack, meat side up.

Baste as needed to fortify and allow the flavors to bed in nicely. Grill, covered, over medium heat for another 4 minutes until meat is opaque and shells bright pink.

Voila! Your lobster tails are ready to serve. You could line your tails back into the seasoning pan for extra flavor, or you could serve hot on a platter straight off the grill.

Garnish as desired with parsley and a squeeze of lemon.
