Ingredients
- 1/4 cup butter melted, unsalted
- lemon juice juice from 1 lemon
- lemon zest from 1
- 2 tablespoons green onion plus more for garnish, chopped, fresh
- 2 tablespoons parsley plus more for garnish, chopped, fresh
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 1 1/4 teaspoon salt ¼ teaspoon divided, sea salt
- 4 lobster tails 4-ounce
- 1 tablespoon olive oil for brushing
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
- lemon wedges for serving
- 4 wooden skewer soaked in water
Instructions
- Preheat your grill or an indoor grill pan over medium heat.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, lemon juice, lemon zest, chopped green onion, chopped parsley, minced garlic, and ¼ teaspoon sea salt.
- Using sharp kitchen shears, cut down from the top of each lobster shell to the tail, make a shallow cut halfway through the lobster meat lengthwise using a sharp knife, without cutting all the way through.
- Insert a soaked wooden skewer lengthwise through each of the lobster tails, this will prevent the tails from curling while they cook.
- Brush the lobster meat with the olive oil and season them with the remaining salt and black pepper.
- Place the lobster tails meat side down on the preheated grill and cook until lightly charred, about 3-4 minutes. Flip the lobster tails over and generously brush on the lemon herb butter onto the meat of the lobster.
- Continue grilling until the lobster is just cooked through and opaque, about another 3-4 minutes. Continue basting the lobster as it cooks for added flavor.
- Remove the lobster tails from the grill and garnish with additional green onion and parsley if desired. Serve with lemon wedges and the remaining lemon herb butter. Enjoy!
