4 lobster tails, 140-170 grams each, thawed if frozen
# Detailed Preparation Steps:
01 -
Cook tails flesh-side down for 4 to 6 minutes. Give them a good brush of garlic lemon butter sauce again. Put them shell-side down next, close the lid, and cook 4 to 5 minutes. Keep going until meat looks firm, not see-through, has a bit of char, and hits 57-60°C inside.
02 -
Put butter in a small pan on low heat to melt. Toss in garlic and lemon zest. Let it cook about a minute till it smells great. Take from heat and stir in the lemon juice and chopped parsley.
03 -
If tails are frozen, thaw them well. Dry them completely with a towel. Cut through the top shell with scissors lengthwise but don’t go all the way to the tail fin. Carefully push the meat up and lay it on the shell, keeping it connected at the bottom.
04 -
Coat the lobster meat with the neutral oil first. Sprinkle salt and pepper evenly. Put aside while you heat your grill.
05 -
Warm up the grill to medium-high, around 230 to 260°C. Scrub and oil the grates so nothing sticks.
06 -
Move lobster tails onto a plate. Pour over the leftover garlic lemon butter. Sprinkle more parsley on top and serve with lemon wedges.
# Helpful Tips:
01 -
Make sure the lobster tails are totally thawed for even cooking. Change grilling times based on size to get it just right. Keep brushing the sauce for extra juiciness and flavor.
