Grilled Lobster Tail with Garlic Butter Sauce
Ingredients:
4 lobster tails
1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted)
4 cloves garlic (minced)
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1 tablespoon fresh parsley (chopped)
1/2 teaspoon paprika
Salt and pepper to taste
Lemon wedges for serving
Instructions:
Preheat the Grill:
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Prepare the Lobster Tails:
Using kitchen shears, cut down the center of the top of the lobster tail shell, stopping just before the tail fin. Gently pull the shell apart and lift the lobster meat above the shell, leaving it attached at the base.
Prepare the Garlic Butter Sauce:
In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, minced garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest, paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir in the chopped parsley.
Grill the Lobster:
Place the lobster tails flesh-side down on the grill. Grill for 4-5 minutes, then flip them over and brush with the garlic butter sauce. Grill for another 4-5 minutes or until the lobster meat is opaque and cooked through.
Serve:
Once done, drizzle the remaining garlic butter sauce over the lobster tails and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
Enjoy your juicy and flavorful lobster tails!
