steps
- 1.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
- 2.
In a small bowl, combine tequila, lime juice, olive oil, agave nectar, minced garlic, minced jalapeno, chopped cilantro, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. Mix well to form a marinade.
- 3.
Using kitchen shears, cut a slit through the top of each lobster tail shell lengthwise. Gently pull the meat out and rest it on top of the shell, keeping it connected at the base.

Place the lobster tails in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring they are evenly coated. Allow them to marinate for 10-15 minutes.
- 5.
Remove the lobster tails from the marinade and place them on the preheated grill, meat side down. Cook for 4-5 minutes, then flip and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes, or until the lobster meat is opaque and cooked through.

Serve the grilled lobster tails with lime wedges on the side for an extra zing of citrus. Enjoy!
