In a separate pan, melt butter over medium heat and sauté garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Add lobster tails to the pan and cook until they turn opaque, about 5-7 minutes.

Season lobster with cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper, then squeeze lime juice over it.

Stir in coconut milk and cheddar cheese into the grits until creamy and smooth.

Serve grits in bowls topped with sautéed lobster and garnish with green onions and parsley.
