How to cook lobster tail on the griddle
Step 1. Prepare the Herb Butter
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine ¼ cup butter, 1 tbsp fresh chopped parsley, 1 tsp blackening seasoning, and 1 tsp minced garlic. Stir regularly until the butter is melted. Transfer the melted butter mixture to a serving bowl and set aside.
Step 2. Butterfly Lobster Tails
Cut the top of the shell down the center, leaving the tail fin intact. Flip the lobster tail over and press down to help release the meat from the shell. Flip back over, open the slit, and use your thumbs to separate the meat from the shell, leaving a piece connected at the end. Lay the lobster tail meat on top of the shell, rinse, and pat dry with a paper towel.

Step 3. Prepare the Lobster Tails
Brush ½ tsp avocado oil or olive oil on the lobster tail meat.
Step 4. Griddle Lobster Tails
Preheat the griddle to medium heat. Place the lobster tails on the hot griddle. To help steam them, spray 1 tbsp water on the grill around the shells. Cover with a griddle dome for about 3 minutes.
Step 5. Check the internal temperature
They are done when the internal temp reaches 135 to 140 degrees F. Serve the grilled lobster tails with the seasoned herb butter. Enjoy!

Meat thermometer recommendations
Every home chef needs a reliable meat thermometer to cook food perfectly.
On Sip Bite Go, you’ll often see me using:
- Meater thermometer – a fancy wireless thermometer that connects to a phone app – gifted to me from a Traeger partnership.
- ThermoPro digital thermometer – which has a wire that connects the thermometer to a display box outside the oven/grill.
It’s like being psychic! The great thing about either of the thermometers above is that I don’t have to take the food out of the oven to know the temperature.
How to use ‘em… What I do is stick the digital thermometer in steak, pork, chicken, whatever before cooking them.
While the meat cooks, it reads the temperature so I know exactly what temp meat is as it’s cooking. Without having to take it out and check. It’s really difficult to overcook food when you know exactly what temp it is inside!
