Step 1
Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Pat lobster tails dry and split them lengthwise using a sharp knife.
Step 2
Melt butter in a small skillet over medium heat, add minced garlic, and cook until fragrant, about 60 seconds.
Step 3
Brush lobster tails with garlic butter, season with salt and pepper, then place meat-side down on the grill.
Step 4
Grill for 5–6 minutes until meat is opaque and cooked through, brushing with remaining butter halfway.
Step 5
Grill lemon wedges cut-side down for 2–3 minutes until charred and juicy.
Step 6
Plate lobster tails, drizzle with pan juices, scatter herbs, and serve with grilled lemon wedges.
