Ingredients
- 4 lobster tails
- 4 tablespoons butter melted
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Lemon wedges for serving
Instructions
- Prepare the Lobster Tails:Thaw the lobster tails if they are frozen. You can do this by placing them in the refrigerator overnight.Using kitchen shears, cut through the top of the shell lengthwise, starting from the meaty portion of the tail down to the tip of the tail.Gently spread the shell apart to expose the meat while keeping it attached at the base of the tail. Lift the meat slightly out of the shell.
- Prepare the Grill:Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (around 375-400°F or 190-200°C). If you're using a charcoal grill, make sure the coals are hot and glowing.
- Season the Lobster Tails:In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, and pepper.Brush the seasoned butter mixture generously over the exposed lobster meat.
- Grill the Lobster Tails:Place the lobster tails shell side down on the preheated grill.Close the grill lid and cook for about 5-6 minutes.Carefully flip the lobster tails over so the meat side is facing down.Brush more of the seasoned butter mixture over the meat.Continue grilling for another 4-5 minutes, or until the meat is opaque and slightly charred on the edges. The internal temperature should reach 140°F (60°C) when fully cooked.
- Serve:Remove the grilled lobster tails from the grill and transfer them to a serving platter.Garnish with additional chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side.Enjoy your delicious grilled lobster tails immediately, perhaps alongside some grilled vegetables or a light salad.
