Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • ¼ teaspoon dried parsley flakes
  • 1/8 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

Directions

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.
