Fresh lemon juice, 1 tablespoon
Garlic, minced cloves
Fresh parsley, finely chopped
Fresh chives, finely chopped
Smoked paprika
Red pepper flakes
Instructions
1. Begin by splitting the lobster tails in half lengthwise using a sharp knife for clean cuts. Set them aside while preparing the cowboy butter sauce.
2. In a medium bowl, mix melted unsalted butter, freshly squeezed lemon juice, minced garlic, and fresh herbs like parsley and chives. Add spices such as smoked paprika and red pepper flakes to taste.
3. Generously brush the lobster tails with the prepared cowboy butter mixture, ensuring the sauce is spread into all crevices. Reserve some of the mixture for later basting.
4. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Place the lobster tails flesh side down and grill for about 5-6 minutes. Flip them over and continue grilling for an additional 3-4 minutes until the meat is opaque and firm.
5. Before serving, give the lobster tails another generous brushing with the reserved cowboy butter for an extra burst of flavor.
6. Plate the grilled lobster tails with your preferred side dish, such as cucumber salad or steamed asparagus, and enjoy.
