4-6 lobster tails
75 gm salted butter
4 cloves garlic, finely crushed

- On the stove top, melt together the garlic and butter on low heat.
- Drizzle the flavored butter all over the lobster meat, and in the space between the shell and the lobster meat.
- Place the lobster tails onto your smoker, and smoke until the lobster attains an internal meat temperature of 130-145 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Remove and rest the lobster tails for approximately 5 minutes.
- Carefully slide underneath the lobster meat using a fork or knife, and lift out the meat. Place the meat onto the shell of the lobster tail shell.
- Serve garnished with parsley, and with additional garlic-butter, if desired.
