Grilled Lobster and Shrimp
Ingredients:
- 2 lobster tails
- 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- Lemon wedges for serving
Recipe Steps:
1️⃣ Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
2️⃣ Using kitchen shears, cut through the top shell of each lobster tail, stopping at the base of the tail. Gently pull the shell apart and lift the lobster meat, laying it on top of the shell.
3️⃣ Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels and set aside.
4️⃣ In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, chopped parsley, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create the garlic butter marinade.
5️⃣ Brush the lobster tails and shrimp generously with the garlic butter marinade.
6️⃣ Place the lobster tails on the grill, meat side up. Grill for 10-12 minutes, basting occasionally with the garlic butter, until the lobster meat is opaque and cooked through.
7️⃣ Add the shrimp to the grill during the last 5 minutes of cooking, grilling until they are pink and opaque, about 2-3 minutes per side.
8️⃣ Remove the lobster tails and shrimp from the grill and place them on a serving platter.
9️⃣ Drizzle with any remaining garlic butter marinade and garnish with additional chopped parsley. Serve with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the seafood.
This grilled lobster and shrimp is a must-try! Perfect for gatherings or a special night in, it’s quick to make and bursting with flavor. Enjoy every bite!
