🛒 Ingredients
- 4 lobster tails
- 3 tablespoons butter, melted
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- Chopped parsley, for garnish
🔥 Instructions
1. Prep the Grill & Lobster Tails
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- Using kitchen shears, cut the top shell of each lobster tail lengthwise, being careful not to cut the meat.
- Gently pull the meat upward, letting it rest on top of the shell — this creates a stunning presentation and helps the meat cook evenly.
2. Make the Garlic Butter Sauce
- In a small bowl, mix together:
- Melted butter
- Minced garlic
- Lemon juice
- Paprika
- Salt & black pepper
- Brush this flavorful mixture generously over the exposed lobster meat.
3. Grill the Lobster
- Place the prepared lobster tails meat side up on the grill.
- Grill for 8–10 minutes, or until the meat is opaque and tender.
- Optional: Baste once more halfway through cooking for extra richness.
4. Serve and Garnish
- Drizzle remaining garlic butter sauce over the grilled lobster.
- Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and an extra squeeze of lemon juice if desired.
🍽️ Pro Tips for Perfect Lobster
- Don’t overcook! Lobster is done when the meat turns white and opaque — it should be tender, not rubbery.
- Serve with crusty bread, grilled veggies, or a simple salad for a complete gourmet meal.
- Make extra garlic butter — you’ll want to dip every bite!
