Grilled Garlic Butter Lobster Tails with Herb Infusion 咽龍
Get ready to embark on a culinary adventure with these succulent grilled lobster tails, infused with rich garlic butter and aromatic herbs! Your taste buds are in for a delightful surprise!
Ingredients:
– 4 lobster tails
– 1/2 cup unsalted butter
– 4 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
– 1 teaspoon paprika
– 1 teaspoon dried parsley
– 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– Lemon wedges, for serving
Instructions:
1. Begin by preheating your grill to medium-high heat. This ensures that the lobster tails will cook evenly and get that delicious char.
2. While the grill is heating, prepare the garlic butter. In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant, but not browned.
3. Stir in the lemon juice, paprika, dried parsley, and chopped thyme. Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside to allow the flavors to meld.
4. Next, prepare the lobster tails. Using kitchen shears, carefully cut down the top shell of each lobster tail, stopping just before the tail fin. Gently pull apart the shell to expose the meat, but keep the meat attached at the tail end.
5. Brush the garlic butter mixture generously over the exposed lobster meat, allowing it to seep into the crevices for maximum flavor.
6. Place the prepared lobster tails on the grill, shell-side down. Grill for about 6-8 minutes, or until the lobster meat is opaque and cooked through. Be sure to brush with more garlic butter halfway through cooking for added richness.
7. Once done, remove the lobster tails from the grill and give them a final drizzle of garlic butter. Serve with lemon wedges on the side for a fresh kick.
