Get ready for the best grilled lobster tail recipe you’ll ever come across.
Equipment
- Z Grills Pellet Smoker
- Z Grills OAK Wood Pellet
Ingredients
- 4 Lobster tails (8-10 oz each)
- 1 cup butter
- ¼ cup lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons paprika
- ½ teaspoon garlic salt
- ½ teaspoon Old Bay
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat your Z Grills pellet smoker to 500°F using oak pellets.
- Prepare the butter mixture. Melt the butter over medium heat in a saucepan. Then, add lemon juice, paprika, garlic salt, Old Bay, black pepper, and fresh parsley. Turn the heat off or to the lowest heat setting just enough to keep the seasoned butter warm.
- Prepare your lobster tails. Using sharp kitchen shears, cut down the middle of each lobster tail through the hard shell.
- Loosen the lobster meat by gently pulling it upwards, leaving it attached at the base of the tail. Rest the lobster meat on top of the shell.
- If you didn’t cut deep enough the first time, butterfly the lobster meat. You want it to appear open.
- Place lobster tails on a rimmed baking sheet.
- Pour 1 tablespoon of the butter mixture over each lobster tail. Keep the remaining butter mixture warm.
- Place the buttered lobster tails directly on the grill grate.
- Cook for 25-30 minutes until the lobster meat is white and opaque. The internal temperature of the lobster tail should be between 135 to 140 °F.
- Transfer lobster tails to plates and serve immediately with the remaining butter mixture.
