Easy Grilled Lobster Tails

🧂 Ingredients

• 6 lobster tails

  8-10 ounces each
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter

  melted
• Juice of two medium lemons
• 1/2 teaspoon salt

  add more if desired
• 1/4 teaspoon paprika
• 1/4 teaspoon granulated garlic

  optional
• 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper
• 1 1/2 tablespoons finely chopped parsley (garnish)

  or herb of choice

Instructions

• 1 Preheat grill for medium-high heat.
• 2 Using sharp kitchen shears, make a vertical cut from the top to about ¼ of an
  inch above the tail. Do not cut through the tail. If you so choose, you can make
  diagonal cuts on both sides (about 1/4 -1/2 an inch) and gently part the shell,
  and pull the lobster meat on top. The shell will serve as a platform with the
  exposed flesh on the top.
• 3 Blot exposed flesh portion gently with a paper towel to remove any excess
  moisture.
• 4 Combine melted butter with remaining ingredients. Let stand for 1-2 minutes to
  give the salt time to dissolve. Stir one again.
• 5 Generously brush the mixture onto the exposed flesh of the lobster tails.
• 6 Place onto grill and cook for 5-8 minutes, depending on the size of the tails.
  Once the shell turns bright pinkish-red tone and the internal temperature of the
  lobster meat reaches 140 degrees, they are done.
• 7 Remove tails from the grill and place onto a clean platter. Garnish with chopped
  parsley and serve with a side of melted butter for dipping.
