🔪 Instructions

1️⃣ Prep the Lobster Tails

• Using kitchen shears, cut the top shell lengthwise and loosen the meat, lifting it above the shell while keeping the base attached.

• Brush lobster meat lightly with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.

2️⃣ Preheat the Grill

• Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (around 400°F / 200°C).

• Place lobster tails shell-side down on the grill.

3️⃣ Grill the Lobster

• Grill for 5–7 minutes, then turn meat side down for 1–2 minutes for perfect grill marks.

• Meat should be opaque and firm but still tender.

4️⃣ Make the Creamy Garlic Butter Sauce

• In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat.

• Add minced garlic and sauté 30–60 seconds until fragrant.

• Stir in heavy cream and simmer 2–3 minutes until slightly thickened.

• Mix in Parmesan, lemon juice, parsley, salt, and pepper.

5️⃣ Serve

💡 Pro Tips

• Don’t overcook lobster—internal temp should be 140–145°F (60–63°C).

• Use a meat thermometer for perfect doneness.

• Add a splash of white wine to the sauce for extra depth.

• Grill with foil if shells start to burn before lobster is cooked.
