Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Boil the 12 baby potatoes in salted water until fork-tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and set aside.

  2. Step 2

    Melt the 4 tbsp butter with 3 minced garlic cloves in a small pan over low heat, about 2 minutes, until fragrant.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.
