Grilled Lobster Tails
Grilled Lobster Tails are juicy, flavorful, and lightly charred, brushed with a buttery garlic-lemon sauce that brings out their natural sweetness. A quick yet luxurious dish perfect for warm evenings and special occasions.
- 2 lobster tails
- ¼ cup melted butter
- 2 tablespoons garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon lemon zest
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
Heat grill to medium-high (around 400°F) and lightly oil the grates.
Cut the top shell lengthwise with kitchen shears and pull the meat up to sit on top, still attached at the base.
Mix melted butter, garlic, paprika, lemon zest, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
Coat the lobster meat generously with the garlic butter. Save some for later.
Place tails meat-side down on the grill. Cook for 5–6 minutes to sear.
Flip shell-side down, baste with more butter, and grill 5–6 more minutes until meat is opaque and firm (140°F inside).
Brush with extra butter and serve hot with lemon wedges.
