Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Preheat grill to medium-high. Cut lobster tails in half lengthwise with kitchen shears, then brush the meat with 2 tbsp melted butter and season with salt and pepper.

  2. Step 2

    Grill lobster tails flesh-side down for 5-6 minutes until lightly charred and opaque, then flip and grill 3-4 more minutes until meat is firm and cooked through.

  3. Step 3

    In a skillet over medium heat, melt remaining 2 tbsp butter and add 2 minced garlic cloves; cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.

  4. Step 4

    Add 8 oz shrimp to the skillet and cook 2-3 minutes per side until pink and curled; squeeze half the lemon over the shrimp and stir in 2 tbsp parsley.

  5. Step 5

    Serve lobster and shrimp with garlic butter sauce spooned on top, lemon wedges on the side, and a sprinkle of extra parsley if desired.
