💡 4 Pro Tips for Perfect Grilled Seafood
1. 👉 Don’t overcook! Lobster and shrimp become rubbery if grilled too long — cook just until opaque.
2. 🔹️ Use real butter — it adds depth and richness that oil alone can’t match.
3. 🔹️ Baste frequently with garlic butter for maximum flavor.
4. ✅ Let the seafood rest 2–3 minutes before serving to let the juices settle.
This Grilled Lobster and Shrimp is a show-stopping summer meal — buttery, smoky, and absolutely irresistible.
Perfect for backyard BBQs, special dinners, or when you just want to treat yourself! 🥂
