- Remove any legs or tentacles from the lobster tails.
- Lay each lobster tail on a cutting board with the bottom side facing up. Use a sharp knife to cut down the center of the lobster tail, exposing the top lobster meat. This is called butterflying the lobster tail.
- Season the exposed lobster meat with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and chili powder. Set aside while you prepare the paste.
- In a cast-iron pan over medium heat, melt 1/2 stick of butter.
- Add the mustard, soy sauce, minced garlic, chipotle pepper (from a can), adobo sauce (2 teaspoons from the can), and chopped chives to the melted butter.
- Mix the ingredients together and let them cook over medium heat for 4-5 minutes.
- Remove the pan from heat and stir in 3 tablespoons of mayonnaise until the mixture is creamy and well combined. Keep the paste warm for later use.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- Place the seasoned lobster tails over direct heat on the grill, exposed meat side up.
- Grill the lobster tails for 2-3 minutes on each side, being careful when flipping them with tongs to prevent the meat from sticking to the grates.
- Before each flip, add a generous layer of the prepared paste on top of the exposed meat side.
- Continue grilling the lobster tails, flipping them and adding a layer of paste after each flip, until they are fully cooked through.
- Use a food thermometer to check the internal temperature. The tails are done when the temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
- While the lobster tails are grilling, place the halved lemons face down on the grill to achieve grill marks.
- Once the lobster tails are done grilling, remove them from the grill.
- Squeeze the grilled lemon halves over the lobster tails to add a bright citrus flavor.
- Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the lobster tails for a pop of color and added freshness.
- Serve the grilled lobster tails with the garnish and enjoy the succulent and flavorful experience that comes with every bite!
