Recipe Instructions
Step 1
Preheat an outdoor grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
Step 2
Whisk melted butter, parsley, and seafood seasoning together in a bowl. Refrigerate until ready to use.
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.
