GRILLED LOBSTER TAILS RECIPE

Making the Garlic Butter:

1. Melt the Butter: In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned.
2. Flavor the Butter: Remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in the lemon juice, smoked paprika (if using), salt, and pepper.

Grilling the Lobster Tails:

1. Season the Lobster: Brush the lobster meat generously with the garlic butter mixture. Reserve some butter for serving.
2. Grill the Lobster Tails:
   • Place the lobster tails, meat side down, on the preheated grill. Grill for about 4-5 minutes, until the shells start to turn bright red.
   • Flip the lobster tails so the shell side is down. Brush more garlic butter over the meat. Close the grill lid and grill for another 4-5 minutes, or until the lobster meat is opaque and cooked through.

Serving:

1. Rest the Lobster: Remove the lobster tails from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes.
2. Serve: Serve the grilled lobster tails garnished with chopped parsley and lemon wedges on the side. Offer the reserved garlic butter for dipping.

Enjoy your grilled lobster tails with your favorite sides, such as grilled vegetables, a fresh salad, or a side of rice. This dish pairs wonderfully with a glass of chilled white wine or a light, citrusy beer.
