Ingredients
Scale
4 tails Lobster Tails (4–6 oz each)
3 tablespoons Grass-fed Ghee (melted)
3 cloves Fresh Garlic (minced)
1 tablespoon Organic Lemon Juice
1 tablespoon Fresh Parsley (chopped)
1/2 teaspoon Smoked Paprika
Sea Salt & Black Pepper to Taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Lobster: Use sharp kitchen shears to cut down the center of the top shell of the Grilled Lobster Tail, stopping just before the tail fin and gently pulling the shell apart to lift the meat upward
- Clean and Dry: Rinse the meat briefly under cold water to remove any shell fragments and pat completely dry with a paper towel
- Create the Baste: In a small bowl, whisk together melted ghee, minced garlic, lemon juice, smoked paprika, sea salt, and black pepper
- Preheat the Grill: Set grill to medium-high heat (400-450°F) and ensure the grates are clean and lightly oiled
- Initial Sear: Place the Lobster Tail flesh-side down on the grates for about 3-5 minutes until distinct grill marks appear
- Flip and Baste: Flip tails to shell side and brush with the garlic-ghee mixture, close the lid, and cook for another 4-6 minutes
- Monitor Doneness: The Lobster is ready when meat turns opaque and reaches an internal temperature of 140°F
- Final Garnish: Remove from grill and sprinkle with fresh parsley and an extra squeeze of lemon juice
Notes
Use an instant-read thermometer to ensure the lobster is cooked perfectly.
For best flavor, avoid overcooking the lobster to prevent rubberiness.
