Creating an incredible grilled lobster tail is simple if you follow these steps:

1. Prepare the Lobster Tails: Use kitchen scissors to cut the top shell of each lobster tail lengthwise, stopping at the fin. Gently pull apart the shell to reveal the meat without detaching it completely.

2. Make the Marinade: In a small bowl, mix melted butter, minced garlic, lemon juice, paprika, sea salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using).

3. Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, around 350°F to 400°F (175°C to 200°C).

4. Brush the Lobster: Generously brush the lobster meat with the prepared marinade, ensuring it’s well coated.

5. Grill the Lobster: Place the lobster tails meat-side down on the grill. Grill for about 5-7 minutes, then flip them over and grill for an additional 5-7 minutes, basting occasionally with more marinade.

6. Check for Doneness: The lobster is done when the meat is opaque and firm to the touch. It should have an internal temperature of 140°F (60°C).

7. Remove and Rest: Take the lobster tails off the grill and let them rest for a couple of minutes.

8. Garnish: Sprinkle fresh parsley over the tails for a pop of color and flavor.

9. Serve: Serve the grilled lobster tails with lemon wedges and any remaining melted butter for dipping.

10. Enjoy: Dive in and savor the flavors of your freshly grilled lobster tails!
