Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Grilled Lobster Tails with Garlic Butter.
Step 1
Start by preheating your outdoor grill to a medium heat, and don’t forget to lightly oil the grill grate to keep those delicious lobster tails from sticking.
Step 2
Next, grab some kitchen shears and carefully cut down the top of each lobster tail.
Step 3
This little trick helps prevent curling while they cook, ensuring they look as good as they taste.
Step 4
In a mixing bowl, combine melted butter, your favorite seafood seasoning, a splash of fresh lemon juice, minced garlic, and a sprinkle of ground black pepper.
Step 5
Give it a good stir to create a mouthwatering basting sauce that will elevate your lobster tails to the next level.
Step 6
Now, place the lobster tails on the grill with the shell-side down and let them cook for about five minutes.
Step 7
Once they’ve had a chance to soak up that smoky flavor, carefully flip them over.
Step 8
Generously brush the lobster meat with your flavorful butter mixture, and continue grilling until the shells turn a vibrant bright red and the meat becomes beautifully opaque, which should take another five to seven minutes.
Step 9
Enjoy the tantalizing aroma as you grill, and get ready for a seafood feast that’s sure to impress!.
