Ingredients

2 lobster tails
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Chopped fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

Prepare the Lobster: Using kitchen shears, cut the top shell of the lobster tails lengthwise down the center, stopping just before the tail fin. Gently pull apart the shell to expose the meat.
Make the Lemon Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter, lemon juice, minced garlic, lemon zest, salt, and pepper.
Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Brush the Lobster: Generously brush the lobster meat with the lemon garlic butter mixture.

Grill the Lobster: Place the lobster tails on the grill, meat side down. Grill for about 5-7 minutes, then flip and brush with more butter. Grill for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the meat is opaque and cooked through.
Serve: Remove the lobster from the grill and garnish with chopped parsley. Serve immediately with extra lemon wedges on the side.
