Ingredients

Lobster Ingredients:

4-5 Lobster Tails
1/4 tablespoon Kosher Salt
1/4 tablespoon Black Pepper
1/2 teaspoon Smoked Paprika
½ teaspoon Garlic Powder
1/2 teaspoon Cumin
2 tablespoon Canola Oil

Parmesan Butter:

⅛ cup Butter
1 tablespoon Chopped Parsley
1 tablespoon Grated Parmesan Cheese
2 Garlic Cloves minced
1/2 teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes
1 Lemon juiced

Instructions

Take a knife and cut down the middle of the lobster shell all the way to its tail. Don't cut the meat. Remove the meat from the shell by going underneath the top of the shell with a spoon. When the meat is still attached at the base of the tail, carefully lift it up and out of the shell. On top of the shell, place the meat. Using a knife, cut shallow slits into the meat lengthwise. For all lobster tails, repeat this process.
The kosher salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, cumin, and oil need to be mixed together in a food-safe bowl. Blend into a thin paste. Put the seasoning on the lobster using a brush.
To prepare your smoker for smoking, preheat it to 375 degrees Fahrenheit using Cowboy Charcoal. To add more smoke flavor, feel free to add wood chips or chunks.
Add the lobster tails to the smoker once it is hot and cook them indirectly for 20-30 minutes. It is considered done when the lobster tails turn from translucent to completely white (or when the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees Fahrenheit).
When the lobster tails are about 10 minutes from being done cooking, add the basting skillet to the smoker. Once the butter has melted, stir in the parsley, parmesan cheese, garlic cloves, red pepper flakes, and lemon juice. Before the lobster tails are removed from the smoker, lightly glaze the outside with the glaze. When you're done, dip some butter in it!
Let the lobster tails rest for 2 minutes after they are done cooking. In a dipping bowl, pour the leftover butter sauce. Let's serve and enjoy!
