Instructions

Step 1: Preheat a teppanyaki grill or large skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Slice the 2 lobster tails lengthwise into halves to expose the meat.
Step 2: Melt 4 tbsp unsalted butter in a small saucepan over low heat, then add 4 minced garlic cloves and sauté gently for 2 minutes until fragrant but not browned. Stir in 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp lemon juice, and 1 tsp sesame oil; keep warm.
Step 3: Place lobster halves and 8 peeled, deveined large shrimp on the hot grill, sprinkle with sea salt and black pepper. Cook lobster for 4-5 minutes per side until opaque and shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side until pink and firm.
Step 4: Brush the garlic butter sauce generously over the seafood as it cooks to build flavor and moisture.
Step 5: Remove seafood from heat, garnish with 2 thinly sliced green onions, and serve immediately with extra garlic butter sauce on the side for dipping.
