Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.

Stir in lemon juice, paprika, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper into the butter mixture.

Brush the lobster meat with the garlic butter mixture generously.

Place the lobster tails on the grill, meat side down, and grill for 5-7 minutes.

Flip the lobster tails over and brush with more garlic butter.

Continue grilling until the lobster meat is opaque and cooked through, about 5-7 more minutes.

Remove the lobster tails from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes.

Garnish with chopped parsley and citrus zest before serving.

Serve with extra lemon wedges and white wine for pairing.
