Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Lobster tails
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Dairy-free margarine or plant-based butter
- 1 tablespoon Chives, chopped
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Carefully cut the lobster tails in half lengthwise using kitchen shears or a sharp knife. Gently lift the meat to rest on the top of the shell for easy grilling.
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Brush the mixture generously over the lobster meat.
In a separate small saucepan, melt the dairy-free margarine or plant-based butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes. Stir in parsley, lemon juice, lemon zest, and chives, then remove from heat.
Place the lobster tails, shell side down, onto the preheated grill. Cover and cook for 10-12 minutes or until the lobster meat is opaque and firm. Baste occasionally with the melted garlic herb mixture.
Remove the lobster tails from the grill and drizzle with any remaining garlic herb butter.
Serve immediately with additional lemon wedges on the side, if desired.
