Ingredients
  

4 lobster tails

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

4 cloves garlic, minced

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon dried parsley

1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)

Salt and pepper to taste

Lemon wedges, for serving

Instructions
 

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F or 200°C).

    Using kitchen scissors, carefully cut the top of each lobster tail down the center, stopping just before the tail fin. Gently pull the lobster meat up and away from the shell, keeping it attached at the base.

      In a medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, minced garlic, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, onion powder, dried parsley, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper until well combined.

        Brush the lobster meat with a generous amount of the Cowboy Butter mixture, ensuring it gets into the crevices. Reserve some butter for basting while the lobster cooks.

          Place the lobster tails, meat side up, on the grill and cook for about 8-10 minutes, basting with the reserved Cowboy Butter every few minutes. The lobster is done when the meat is opaque and firm to the touch (internal temperature should reach 140°F or 60°C).

            Once cooked, remove the lobster tails from the grill and let them rest for a couple of minutes.

              Serve warm with additional Cowboy Butter drizzled over the top and lemon wedges on the side for squeezing.
