Succulent lobster tails grilled to perfection and brushed with a zesty lemon butter sauce, making for an elegant and flavorful seafood dish perfect for any special occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 lobster tails (about 6 oz each)
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
  2. Using kitchen shears, cut the top shell of each lobster tail lengthwise down the middle without cutting the meat.
  3. Gently lift the lobster meat from the shell, keeping it attached at the base, and rest it on top of the shell.
  4. In a small bowl, combine melted butter, lemon juice, garlic, lemon zest, salt, and pepper.
  5. Brush the lobster meat generously with the lemon butter mixture.
  6. Place the lobster tails meat-side down on the grill and cook for 4 minutes.
  7. Flip the lobster tails, brush again with the lemon butter, and grill for another 3-4 minutes until the meat is opaque and cooked through.
  8. Remove from grill and brush with any remaining lemon butter sauce.
  9. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve immediately.

Notes

For an extra burst of flavor, sprinkle some smoked paprika before grilling or serve with a side of garlic herb butter.
