Cedar Plank Lobster and Shrimp with Garlic-Herb Butter

Prep Time5 minutes
Cook Time20 minutes
Total Time25 minutes
Servings: 2

Ingredients

For the Garlic-Herb Butter:

  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh tarragon
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

For the Lobster Tails and Shrimp:

  • 2 lobster tails
  • 1 pound jumbo shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 3 tablespoons avocado oil
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
  • chopped fresh parsley, to garnish

Instructions

For the Garlic-Herb Butter:

  • Melt the butter in a small saucepan set over medium heat. Add the garlic, then reduce the heat to a very subtle simmer. Continue to cook until the garlic is very fragrant, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the tarragon, parsley, and salt. Cover and set aside while you prepare the fish.

For the Lobster Tails and Shrimp:

  • Preheat the grill to medium heat (400℉ to 450℉).
  • To prepare the lobster, use a pair of kitchen shears and cut down the center of the spine (or the top of the tail) lengthwise.
  • Place the lobster tails and the shrimp in a large bowl. Drizzle with avocado oil and season with salt, pepper, and Old Bay seasoning. Gently toss until coated evenly.
  • Place the cedar planks on the grill, about 3 minutes. Once hot, place a lobster tail on each plank. Cook, covered, for 5 minutes.
  • After 5 minutes, push the tails to the edge of the plank, then evenly divide the shrimp amongst both planks. Cover and cook for about 6 minutes, flipping shrimp halfway through, until they are no longer opaque.
  • Carefully remove the the lobster and shrimp from the grill and serve with the garlic-herb butter. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve.
