In a mixing bowl, add the butter and use a rubber spatula to whip it until it reaches a soft, spreadable consistency. Incorporate the remaining ingredients and blend thoroughly until everything is well combined.
Transfer the herb-infused butter onto the center of a piece of plastic wrap or parchment paper. Form it into a cylindrical log shape, then twist the ends to secure. Refrigerate the butter for at least 30 to 60 minutes until it firms up, making it easier to slice.
Position each lobster tail with the shell facing up on a cutting board. Carefully use a large, sharp knife to slice through the shell vertically, starting at the tail and cutting down to where the body used to connect.
Sprinkle the exposed lobster meat with a pinch of salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste, then lightly mist with olive oil.
Preheat your grill to a medium-high temperature, ensuring the grates are clean and oiled. Place each lobster tail half onto the grill with the flesh side down, then close the lid. Grill for approximately 1 ½ minutes, then rotate each tail 45 degrees for a cross-hatch pattern, close the lid again, and grill for an additional 1 ½ minutes.
Transfer the grilled tails to a pan and generously spread ½ tablespoon of the prepared butter over each one.
Place the tails back on the grill, this time with the flesh side facing up. Close the lid and allow them to cook for another 3 to 5 minutes, depending on their size, until the meat is opaque and firm when touched.
Once cooked, take the tails off the grill and serve them alongside lemon wedges.
