Honey Garlic Butter Lobster Tails with Lemon Aioli 🍯🧄🧈🍋🍤 (Sweet, Spicy & Done in 15 Minutes – Yes, Really!)
Ingredients:
2 large lobster tails, thawed and butterflied
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons garlic, minced
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
For the Lemon Aioli:
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Instructions:
1. Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. If using a grill pan, lightly oil it to prevent sticking.
2. In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, and red pepper flakes (if using). Season with salt and pepper to taste.
3. Brush the butterflied lobster tails generously with the honey garlic butter mixture, ensuring both sides are coated.
4. Grill the lobster tails for 3-4 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through and the flesh is opaque and firm. The cooking time will depend on the thickness of your lobster tails. Avoid overcooking, as this can make the lobster tough.
5. While the lobster tails are grilling, prepare the lemon aioli. In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, lemon juice, minced garlic, and chopped parsley. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix well until everything is thoroughly combined.
6. Once the lobster tails are cooked, remove them from the grill and let them rest for a minute or two before serving.
7. Serve the grilled lobster tails immediately, topped with a generous dollop of lemon aioli. Enjoy!
