Ingredients

2 lobster tails
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon paprika
Salt and pepper to taste
Chopped parsley for garnish

Instructions

Prepare the Lobster: Using kitchen shears, cut the top of the lobster shells lengthwise to expose the meat. Gently pull the meat out slightly while keeping it attached at the base.
Make Garlic Butter: In a bowl, combine melted butter, minced garlic, lemon juice, paprika, salt, and pepper.
Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Grill the Lobster: Brush the garlic butter mixture generously over the lobster meat. Place the lobster tails on the grill, meat side down, and cook for about 5-7 minutes.

Flip and Baste: Carefully flip the lobster tails over and baste with more garlic butter. Continue grilling for another 5-7 minutes, or until the meat is opaque and cooked through.
Serve: Remove from the grill and garnish with chopped parsley. Serve immediately with extra garlic butter on the side.
