Grilled Lobster Tail

We found this very simple recipe and it worked like a charm. 

  1. To prepare lobster tails for grilling: Using kitchen shears, cut the top membrane off the lobster tails and discard. 
  2. Partially loosen the meat from the shell, leaving the end of the tail attached. 
  3. Gently lift the loosened tail meat up and rest just on top of the shell. Brush tails with melted butter with an herb infusion, we use fresh thyme, lots of it.
  4. When the grill is ready, arrange the tails shell side down and cook 6-8 minutes. 
  5. Turn tails over so the meat side is on the grill and continue to cook 2-4 minutes until the meat is cooked through. Serve with a touch melted herb butter and fresh lemon. 

 

Dont: add butter before turning flesh down, causes burning

Do: use a lot of herbs in butter, the lobster is basically roasting in the butter
