🔥 How to Grill the Perfect Lobster Tails
You’ll Need:
- Lobster tails (4–6 oz each)
- Kitchen shears
- melted butter
- Fresh garlic (optional)
- Lemon wedges
- Salt & pepper
- Fresh herbs like parsley (optional)
Step 1 – Prep & Butterfly

- Gently pull the shell apart and lift the meat to rest on top.
- Brush with melted butter, season with salt, pepper, and optional garlic or paprika.
Step 2 – Heat the Grill
- Medium-high heat (375–400°F).
Step 3 – Grill
- Meat-side down: 4–5 min to sear.
- Flip, shell-side down: 3–5 min until meat is opaque & firm.
- Baste with garlic butter while grilling for extra flavor.
Step 4 – Serve
- Squeeze lemon over the top, garnish with parsley, and serve immediately.
🧈 Bonus Tip: Butter Dip Sauce

🍋 Chef’s Notes:
- Use real butter for the best flavor.
- Avoid overcooking—lobster turns tough fast.
- For a smoky twist, toss a handful of applewood or cherry wood chips on the grill.
