Total time: 20 min
Yield: 2 servings
Ingredients: 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted; 0.25 teaspoon dried parsley flakes; 0.125 teaspoon seafood seasoning (such as Old Bay®); 2 lobster tails; 2 bamboo skewers; 1 teaspoon olive oil; salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste; lemon wedges for serving

Ingredients

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
0.25 teaspoon dried parsley flakes
0.125 teaspoon seafood seasoning (such as Old Bay®)
2 lobster tails
2 bamboo skewers
1 teaspoon olive oil
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
lemon wedges for serving

Instructions

Step 1

Whisk melted butter, parsley, and seafood seasoning together in a bowl. Refrigerate until ready to use.
Step 2

Preheat an outdoor grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
Step 3

Using kitchen shears, cut the top portion of each lobster shell lengthwise down the middle. Crack shells open to expose meat. Separate meat from sides of shell. Insert a skewer in each tail lengthwise (this will prevent curling as it is grilled). Brush 1/2 teaspoon of olive oil on the exposed meat of each tail. Season with salt and pepper.
Step 4

Place tails on the grill grate, flesh-side down, and grill for 6 minutes. Using tongs, flip tails, and spoon reserved seasoned butter over the top. Grill for 4 minutes more. Serve with lemon wedges.
