  • 2 tail lobster tails
  • 1 pound large shrimp peeled and deveined
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped

  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

  • Serving Platter

Method
 

  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
  2. Using kitchen shears, cut through the top shell of each lobster tail, stopping at the base, and gently pull the shell apart to lift the lobster meat on top.
  3. Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels and set aside.
  4. In a small bowl, combine melted butter, olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, chopped parsley, paprika, salt, and black pepper; mix well.
  5. Brush lobster tails and shrimp generously with the garlic butter marinade.
  6. Place lobster tails on the grill, meat side up, and grill for 10-12 minutes, basting occasionally until the meat is opaque.
  7. Add shrimp to the grill during the last 5 minutes, cooking until pink and opaque, about 2-3 minutes per side.
  8. Remove the seafood from the grill, place on a serving platter, drizzle with remaining garlic butter marinade, and garnish with additional chopped parsley.
  9. Serve with lemon wedges.

Notes

To keep the garlic butter warm while grilling, place the bowl near the grill or in a warm spot. This ensures maximum flavor absorption. You can substitute whole lobsters or crab legs for lobster tails and use a vegan butter alternative for a dairy-free version. For an extra zing, you can add a splash of white wine to the garlic butter marinade. Enjoy your delicious meal!
