Ingredients

• 4 lobster tails
• 2 sticks of butter
• 3 garlic cloves minced
• 1 tablespoon fresh chopped parsley
• 2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning
• Juice from half a lemon
• 1 teaspoon hot sauce
• Salt & pepper to taste
• 1 1/2 teaspoons Chimichurri or Italian Herb seasoning(optional)

Instructions

Prepare the Lobster Tails – Using a sharp knife, carefully cut each lobster tail down the middle leaving the back together. This will help the meat cook evenly and allow the flavors to seep in.

Season the Lobster – Lightly coat the exposed lobster meat with olive oil, then generously season each tail with salt & pepper.

Preheat the Grill – Set your grill to medium heat and let it warm up. A properly heated grill ensures an even cook and prevents sticking.

Make the Garlic Butter Sauce – In a small saucepan, add butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, fresh lemon juice, hot sauce, chimichurri seasoning, and a dash of Cajun seasoning. Let the butter melt completely, then remove it from the heat and set it aside.

Grill the Lobster Tails – Place the lobster tails on the grill, meat side down. Let them cook for about 2-3 minutes until they develop a slight char.

Flip and Baste – Turn the lobster tails over, shell side down, and generously baste them with the prepared garlic butter sauce. The butter will enhance the flavor while keeping the meat juicy and tender.

Check for Doneness – Continue grilling until the lobster tails reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C). This ensures they are fully cooked but still tender.

Final Touch – Remove the lobster tails from the grill and place them on a plate. Baste them one final time with the garlic butter for an extra layer of richness.

Garnish and Serve – Sprinkle fresh chopped parsley over the top, serve with lemon wedges, and enjoy your perfectly grilled lobster tails!
