1 teaspoon smoked paprika
-
1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

For the Fries:
-
2 large russet potatoes, cut into fries
-
2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions
1. Prepare the Fries:
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
Toss potato fries with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
Spread evenly on a baking sheet and bake for 30–35 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.
2. Grill the Lobster Tails:
Preheat grill to medium-high.
Mix melted butter, olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, pepper, and lemon juice in a small bowl.
Brush lobster tails with the butter mixture.
Grill lobster flesh-side down for 4–5 minutes, then flip and grill shell-side down for another 3–4 minutes, until meat is opaque and lightly charred.
Garnish with chopped parsley.
3. Make the Creamy Sauce:
In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and hot sauce (if using) until smooth.
4. Serve:
Plate the grilled lobster tails with crispy fries on the side. Serve with the creamy dipping sauce.
Notes
You can air-fry the potatoes for a quicker, lower-oil version. Add a squeeze of fresh lemon over the lobster just before serving for extra brightness.
