Ingredients
Scale
- Zest of 1 lemon
- 100g unsalted butter, softened
- 1 tbsp fresh chives, finely chopped
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 4 lobster tails
- 1 garlic clove, minced

Instructions
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- Using kitchen shears, cut each lobster tail lengthwise through the top shell and flesh, stopping at the tail.
- In a bowl, combine the softened butter, lemon zest, parsley, chives, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
- Spread the lemon herb butter evenly over the flesh of each lobster tail.
- Place the lobster tails on the grill, flesh side down. Grill for 5-6 minutes until the flesh is opaque and cooked through, and the shells are lightly charred. Carefully flip the lobster tails and grill for another 3-4 minutes, until the shells are fully charred and the lobster meat is tender.
- Remove the lobster tails from the grill and serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
