Steps:
- Combine butter, minced garlic, hot sauce, and pepper in a bowl; mix until fully combined. Set aside.
- Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
- Butterfly lobster tails by cutting lengthwise through the centers of the hard top shells and about halfway through the top of the meat with kitchen shears. With your fingers, press shell halves of the tails apart. Flip them over, and insert a skewer down the lobster tail so that the tail is easier to remove after cooking and doesn't curl up. Brush tails with olive oil and season with salt.
- Place lobster tails on the preheated grill with the cut shell sides down; grill until shells are bright in color, 5 to 8 minutes. Flip and spoon 1 tablespoon butter mixture onto the butterflied meat through the cut in the shell. Grill until lobster meat is an opaque white color, 4 to 7 more minutes, basting once more with butter mixture.
- Remove lobster tails from the grill and serve with more garlic butter and lemon wedges.

Tips:
- Choose fresh lobster tails. Fresh lobster tails are more flavorful and tender than frozen ones. Look for lobster tails with a firm, springy texture and no discoloration.
- Thaw frozen lobster tails properly. If you're using frozen lobster tails, thaw them in the refrigerator overnight or in a bowl of cold water for 30 minutes.
- Don't overcook the lobster tails. Lobster tails are best when they are cooked just until opaque and tender. Overcooking will make them tough and chewy.
- Use a meat thermometer to check the doneness of the lobster tails. The internal temperature of the lobster tails should be 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Serve the lobster tails with melted butter, lemon wedges, and drawn butter. You can also add other dipping sauces, such as cocktail sauce or tartar sauce.
Conclusion:
Steaming lobster tails is a quick and easy way to cook this delicious seafood. By following these tips, you can ensure that your lobster tails are cooked perfectly and that you have a delicious meal that everyone will enjoy.
