Description
Succulent grilled lobster tails brushed with a rich garlic butter sauce, perfect for a special occasion or a summer barbecue.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 lobster tails
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- Using kitchen scissors, cut the top shell of each lobster tail down the middle, stopping just before the end of the tail. Gently pull apart the shell to expose the meat.
- In a bowl, combine melted butter, minced garlic, lemon juice, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Brush the garlic butter mixture generously over the exposed lobster meat.
- Place the lobster tails on the grill, shell side down. Grill for about 5-7 minutes, or until the meat is opaque and cooked through.
- During the last minute of grilling, brush more garlic butter on top of the lobster meat for extra flavor.
- Remove from the grill and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
