Ingredients

• 4 lobster tails

• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

• 3 cloves garlic, minced

• 1 tablespoon lemon juice

• 1 teaspoon lemon zest (optional)

• Salt and black pepper, to taste

• 1 tablespoon olive oil

• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped

• Lemon wedges (for serving)

Instructions

1.  Prepare the Lobster Tails

Using kitchen shears, cut down the center of the lobster shell, stopping at the tail.

Gently loosen the meat from the shell and lift it slightly, resting it on top of the shell.

Pat the lobster meat dry and lightly brush with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.

2.  Make the Garlic Butter

In a small bowl, combine melted butter, minced garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest (if using), and parsley. Mix well.

3.  Preheat the Grill

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.

4.  Grill the Lobster Tails

Place lobster tails shell-side down on the grill.

Grill for 5–6 minutes, then brush generously with garlic butter.

Continue grilling for another 2–3 minutes, until the meat is opaque, tender, and lightly charred.

5.  Serve

Remove from the grill and brush with any remaining garlic butter.

Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.

Tips

• Avoid overcooking; lobster meat becomes tough if grilled too long.

• If tails are large, grill slightly longer but keep heat moderate.

• Serve with grilled vegetables, corn on the cob, or a fresh salad.
