Instructions
- Make the lemon butter sauce by melting the butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Add the minced garlic, lemon zest, parsley and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt. Stir to combine and heat for an additional 1-2 minutes, then remove from the heat and set aside. Butter will harden if it gets too cool, simply reheat until melted.
- Using kitchen shears, butterfly the lobster tails. Gently loosen the flesh from the shell. Devein the top of the tail, if needed. Skewer, lengthwise, with a soaked wooden skewer or a metal skewer.
- Brush the meat with the olive oil and then sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon of the coarse kosher salt. Set aside.
- Heat grill to high medium-high heat. Place lobster tails on the top grill rack, meat side down, for 5-6 minutes. Turn and continue to cook for another 1-2 minutes or until meat is white and pearly. Total cooking time is dependant on the size of the lobster tail. Internal temperature should read 140°F using a digital thermometer.
- Remove and spoon the lemon garlic butter sauce over each tail, letting it seep down between the meat and the shell. Dust with smoked paprika.
