*Smoked Lobster Tails with Garlic Butter**
Looking for a special meal that is elegant, tender, and easy on the prep? These smoked lobster tails are melt-in-your-mouth delicious and make for a perfect, memorable dinner.
**Ingredients:**
* 4 lobster tails
* * 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
* * 2 cloves garlic, minced
* * 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped
* * A pinch of salt and black pepper
* * A squeeze of fresh lemon juice
**Instructions:**
1. **Prep the Tails:** Using kitchen shears, carefully cut down the center of the top shell. Gently pull the meat upward so it rests on top of the shell. This is called “butterflying” and helps the smoke penetrate the meat beautifully.
2. 2. **Make the Sauce:** In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, minced garlic, parsley, salt, pepper, and a splash of lemon juice.
3. 3. **Smoke Them:** Preheat your smoker to 225°F (107°C). Place the lobster tails on the grill grates. Brush them generously with half of your garlic butter mixture.
4. 4. **Cook:** Close the lid and smoke for about 20–25 minutes. You’ll know they are ready when the meat is opaque and firm to the touch.
5. 5. **Serve:** Remove from the heat and brush with the remaining garlic butter. Serve immediately while warm.
This dish pairs wonderfully with a side of steamed asparagus or a light garden salad. It’s a gentle, flavorful treat that’s easy to chew and lovely to share with friends or family.
