Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Grilled Lobster Tails with Herb Butter.
Step 1
Start by whisking together melted butter, dried parsley, and seafood seasoning in a bowl.
Step 2
Once combined, cover the mixture and pop it in the fridge until you’re ready to use it.
Step 3
Next, fire up your outdoor grill to medium-high heat and give the grill grate a light oiling to keep your lobster tails from sticking.
Step 4
Now, grab some kitchen shears and carefully cut the top of each lobster shell lengthwise down the middle.
Step 5
Gently crack the shells open to reveal the succulent meat inside, and use your fingers to separate the meat from the sides of the shell.
Step 6
To keep the tails from curling while they grill, insert a bamboo skewer lengthwise into each one.
Step 7
Brush the exposed meat of each lobster tail with half a teaspoon of olive oil, then sprinkle with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
Step 8
Place the lobster tails on the grill, flesh-side down, and let them sizzle for about six minutes.
Step 9
Using tongs, carefully flip the tails over and generously spoon the reserved seasoned butter over the top.
Step 10
Grill for an additional four minutes, or until the lobster is perfectly cooked through and opaque.
Step 11
Finally, serve your beautifully grilled lobster tails with fresh lemon wedges on the side for a zesty finish.
Step 12
Enjoy the delightful flavors and the satisfaction of a meal well made!.
