Step 1
Boil the 12 baby potatoes in salted water until fork-tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and set aside.
Step 2
Melt the 4 tbsp butter with 3 minced garlic cloves in a small pan over low heat, about 2 minutes, until fragrant.
Step 3
Brush the 2 lobster tails with half the garlic butter and grill over medium-high heat, flesh side down, for 5-6 minutes until lightly charred and opaque.
Step 4
Flip the lobster tails, brush with remaining butter, and grill for another 3-4 minutes until the meat is firm and cooked through.
Step 5
Toss the boiled potatoes with the 2 sliced green onions and 0.5 tsp red pepper flakes in the leftover butter from the pan. Serve with the lobster.
