- 2 cloves of garlic, minced

Instructions
Preparing the Lobster Tails
- Prepare the Arteflame Grill: Preheat your Arteflame grill, ensuring it's hot before you start grilling.
- Prep the Lobster: Using kitchen shears, cut down the center of the top shell of each lobster tail, stopping at the tail fin. Carefully pull the shell apart and lift the tail meat, leaving it attached at the end. Rest the meat on top of the shell to expose it for grilling.
- Seasoning: In a small bowl, combine melted butter, minced garlic, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Brush this mixture generously over the lobster meat.
Grilling the Lobster Tails
- Grill the Lobster Tails: Place the lobster tails, meat side up, on the hot grill. Cook for about 8-10 minutes, or until the meat is opaque and slightly charred, basting occasionally with the remaining butter mixture.
- Check for Doneness: Lobster tails are done when the shell turns bright red and the meat is firm to the touch. Avoid overcooking to keep the meat tender.
Serving
- Serve: Place the grilled lobster tails on a platter, sprinkle with chopped parsley for garnish, and serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the meat.
Conclusion
Grilled lobster tails are a luxurious addition to any meal, and preparing them on an Arteflame grill adds a unique touch of smoky flavor that enhances the natural sweetness of the lobster. This dish pairs beautifully with a light salad, some grilled vegetables, or a glass of chilled white wine.
