Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Grill the Lobster: Brush the lobster meat with the lemon butter mixture. Place the lobster tails shell-side down on the grill. Grill for about 5-7 minutes, then flip and brush with more lemon butter. Grill for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the meat is opaque and cooked through.
