Grilled Lobster Tails

Grilled lobster tails are a luxurious and simple dish that lets the natural sweetness of the lobster shine. A rich garlic butter glaze adds bold flavor, making this recipe perfect for special occasions or summer barbecues.


Ingredients

(Serves 4)

  • 4 lobster tails
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
  • Lemon wedges (for serving)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Lobster Tails

  • Using kitchen shears, cut down the center of the top shell of each lobster tail, stopping at the base.
  • Gently pry the shell apart and lift the meat slightly, resting it on top of the shell while keeping it attached at the base.
  • Rinse and pat the lobster tails dry with paper towels.

2. Make the Garlic Butter

  • In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, minced garlic, lemon juice, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.

3. Preheat the Grill

  • Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F-400°F). Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.

4. Butter and Grill

  • Brush the lobster meat generously with the garlic butter mixture.
  • Place the lobster tails shell side down on the grill. Close the lid and cook for 6-8 minutes, depending on the size of the tails.
  • Baste the lobster meat with more garlic butter halfway through grilling.
  • The lobster is done when the meat is opaque and firm to the touch, with an internal temperature of 135°F-140°F.

5. Garnish and Serve

  • Remove the lobster tails from the grill and drizzle with any remaining garlic butter.
  • Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side.

Tips

  • Butterflied Presentation: Butterflying the tails allows even cooking and makes the dish visually stunning.
  • Avoid Overcooking: Lobster meat can become rubbery if overcooked, so keep a close eye on it.
  • Charcoal vs. Gas Grill: Both work well, but a charcoal grill adds a smoky flavor that pairs beautifully with lobster.
  • Pairings: Serve with grilled vegetables, rice pilaf, or a light salad for a complete meal.

These Grilled Lobster Tails are an indulgent treat that’s easier to prepare than they look, making any meal feel like a special occasion. 🦞🔥🍋
