Servings: 4 people
Ingredients
- 4 lobster tails
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
Lemon Garlic Butter
- 4 cloves garlic
- ¼ cup parsley finely minced
- 8 Tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- juice of 1 lemon
Instructions
- Preheat your grill to Medium-High heat (about 450 degrees F).
- Prepare the lemon garlic butter by combining all ingredients in a small saucepan and simmer for 4 minutes over low heat. Keep warm until ready to serve.
- Prepare your lobster. Use kitchen shears to split the tail of the lobster open, then follow along the same line with a sharp knife to cut through the meat of the lobster. Take care not to cut through the membrane of the shell.
- Press your lobster tails open so the meat is exposed. Season the meat with the salt and pepper.
- Put the cut side down on grill grates. Close the lid, and cook for 6 minutes. Flip the tails over, brush the inside with the garlic herb butter, close the lid, and cook for another 4-6 minutes or until the flesh is opaque and the internal temperature of the lobster reads 145 degrees F.
- Remove the cooked lobster tails from the grill. Serve hot with lemon wedges.
