Per-ingredient cost is the amount this recipe uses at the lowest Canadian price we have on file; the per-serving total above adds the range up to the dearest price and for buying whole packages. A line marked not counted is one we couldn't measure from the amount as written — it is missing from the total, not free.

Method

1. Heat an outdoor grill or indoor grill pan to medium high heat.
2. Use kitchen shears to cut down the top of each lobster tail. Use a sharp knife to slice down the cut area, all the way through the flesh of the lobster, but not through the bottom shell.
3. Use your hands to flatten each tail. Place a wooden or metal skewer through the lobster meat in each tail.
4. Brush each lobster tail with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper.
5. Place the butter, garlic, parsley, and salt in a small bowl. Microwave in 20 second increments until butter is melted. Stir to combine.
6. Place the lobster tails flesh side down on the grill. Cook for 5 minutes.
7. Flip the tails over and drizzle the garlic butter over the top of each one. Grill for another 4-5 minutes or until lobster meat is opaque.
8. Sprinkle with additional parsley for garnish and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
