Do you have any tips on how to grill lobster tails or special seasoning that you use? Let us know in the comments below!
Ingredients
- 4 tail(s) Lobster
- Vegetable Oil
- Salt
- Pepper
- Melted Butter (for serving)
- Lemon Juice (for serving)
Directions
Place a lobster tail on a cutting board, shell side up with the tail facing away from you. Use a pair of kitchen shears to snip the shell in half. Stop snipping at the tail. Then take a sharp knife and trace that line, cutting the meat as you go.
Once you have snipped and cut, open the lobster tail up like a book, laying it flat on its back. Rinse the shell in a bowl of cold water to remove any shell fragments and repeat with other tails.
Once you have rinsed the tails, pat them dry with a paper towel, then season the meat with salt and pepper and brush with vegetable oil.
Preheat a grill to 350ºF and set up for direct grilling. Place the meat side of the lobster directly on the grill and cook for 7 minutes. Flip once and cook for an additional 5 minutes, until the meat is white and the shell turns red.
Remove from the grill and serve with melted butter, a squeeze of lemon juice and any other seasonings you may enjoy. Cheers!
