Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F).

  2. 2

    In a small saucepan, melt 1 stick of butter over low heat. Add 4 minced garlic cloves and sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.

  3. 3

    Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the juice of 1 lime, 2 tablespoons of chopped parsley, 1 teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of black pepper, and 1 teaspoon of paprika. Set aside.

  4. 4

    Prepare the lobsters by placing them belly side up on a cutting board. Using a sharp knife, carefully split each lobster in half lengthwise.

  5. 5

    Brush the cut sides of the lobsters with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and season with salt and pepper.

  6. 6

    Place the lobsters cut side down on the preheated grill and cook for 5-6 minutes until they start to turn bright red.

  7. 7

    Flip the lobsters over and generously brush the garlic butter mixture over the meat. Grill for an additional 4-5 minutes until the lobster meat is opaque and cooked through.

  8. 8

    Remove the lobsters from the grill and drizzle any remaining garlic butter over the top. Garnish with additional parsley if desired.

  9. 9

    Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side.
