Ingredients & Equipment You’ll Need

4 cloves of garlic, minced
Salt & pepper to taste

Equipment: Grill, meat thermometer, kitchen shears, and hands of a pro chef.

How To Make Grilled Garlic Butter Lobster Tails

First off, fire up your grill. You want it nice and hot before you set your lobsters down.
Meanwhile, cut the top of the lobster tails using your kitchen shears. Be careful, my friends. You don’t want to cut through the tail end.
It’s time for the butter-garlic action. Melt the butter, toss in your minced garlic and give it a good mix.
Brush this buttery delight on your lobster tails and season them with a lil’ bit of salt and pepper.
Now, show off your grill-master skills by grilling your lobster tails shell side down for about 6-8 minutes. Brush them with more garlic butter halfway through.
Flip them babies and grill for another good 6-8 minutes until the meat is opaque and your meat thermometer reads 140��F in centre. Voila!

Tips For The Best Results

Always choose fresh lobsters. It makes a significant difference to the taste and texture.
Don’t go overboard with the grilling. Too long on the grill and the lobsters might turn out rubbery.

Storage Tips

If you’re cooking these a tad bit in advance, pop em in the fridge right after cooking. They can hold up good for a 24 hours.
Planning for long term storage? Nah. They are best when eaten fresh off the grill.
