The first step to grilling lobster tails actually begins with a quick boil. Doing so ensures that your lobster tails are fully cooked through without getting overcooked on the grill
Heat a large pot of cold water over medium heat until boiling. Make sure to add enough water so that each tail will be fully submerged in the water
Once boiling, place each lobster tail in the water and cook for about 2 minutes
Carefully remove and lay on a towel to dry
Next, you’ll want to heat up your grill. Gas grills should be heated on medium
While the grill is heating up, place a skewer lengthwise through each lobster tail
Once the skewer is inserted, you’ll want to butterfly your lobster tails. Using kitchen scissors, carefully cut the shell back lengthwise to expose the lobster meat
Next, prepare a melted butter mixture including 1 tablespoon of melted butter for each tail and your favorite seasonings. Grilled lobster pairs well with butter, lemon, garlic, and fresh parsley. Melt butter in a small pot over medium heat
Using a pastry brush, baste each lobster tail with the melted butter mixture and then grill them, meat side down
Grill lobster tails for approximately 2 minutes, or until the internal temperature in the thickest part of the tail is 140 degrees Fahrenheit
Serve grilled lobster tails alongside fresh lemon slices
