1

Select your lobster tails

Find the freshest lobster tails available. Look for tails that are shiny, have a firm texture, and smell like the ocean. If you can, opt for larger tails for that extra succulent goodness.

2

Prep the lobster tails

Using kitchen shears, carefully cut along the top shell of each tail, starting from the wide end and extending towards the tail. Be sure to keep the bottom shell intact. Gently pull the shell apart, revealing the meat, but keep it attached at the tail end. Carefully lift the meat through the cut shell, resting it on top.

3

Season to perfection

Melt some butter in a small saucepan and add your favorite seasonings. A sprinkle of salt, a dash of paprika, and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice are always winners. Brush this irresistible mixture generously over the lobster meat.

4

Heat things up

Preheat your grill or broiler to medium-high heat. Make sure it's nice and hot before proceeding to the next step. We're about to get those tails sizzling!

5

Grill or broil like a pro

Place the lobster tails on the grill or under the broiler, shell side down. Cook for about 5-6 minutes, or until the meat turns opaque and lightly charred. Keep an eye on them to prevent overcooking. Remember, perfection lies in that delicate balance.

6

Serve and enjoy

Gently remove the lobster tails from the heat and let them rest for a minute. Grab your fanciest platter, arrange the tails with a sprinkle of fresh parsley, and get ready to dig in. Squeeze another lemon wedge on top for an extra burst of flavor. Mmm... lobsterliciousness!
