 INGREDIENTS

4 Persons

For the Lobster Tail:
  • 4 lobster tails, thawed if frozen
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
For the Garlic Butter Sauce:
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

 INSTRUCTIONS




1) Preheat grill to medium-high heat.

2) Using kitchen shears, cut along the top of each lobster tail shell to expose the meat. Gently pull the meat out of the shell, leaving it attached at the tail end.

3) In a small bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, chopped parsley, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Brush the mixture onto the exposed lobster meat.

4) Place the lobster tails on the preheated grill, shell side down. Cook for 5-6 minutes, then flip and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes, until the meat is opaque and cooked through.

5) While the lobster tails are grilling, prepare the garlic butter sauce. In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.

6) Stir in the lemon juice, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another 1-2 minutes, then remove from heat.

7) Serve the grilled lobster tails with the garlic butter sauce on the side for dipping.
