Description
A pretty easy version of grilled lobster tails, that my family enjoys.
Ingredients
- ½ cup salted butter, softened
- 2 tablespoons minced garlic
- 1 dash hot sauce
- freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 4 (6 ounce) lobster tails
- 4 (10 inch) skewers
- 1 tablespoon olive oil, or to taste
- kosher salt to taste
- 1 medium lemon, cut into wedges
Instructions
- Combine butter
- minced garlic
- hot sauce
- and pepper in a bowl; mix until fully combined. Set aside.
- Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
- Butterfly lobster tails by cutting lengthwise through the centers of the hard top shells and about halfway through the top of the meat with kitchen shears. With your fingers
- press shell halves of the tails apart. Flip them over
- and insert a skewer down the lobster tail so that the tail is easier to remove after cooking and doesn’t curl up. Brush tails with olive oil and season with salt.
- Place lobster tails on the preheated grill with the cut shell sides down; grill until shells are bright in color
- 5 to 8 minutes. Flip and spoon 1 tablespoon butter mixture onto the butterflied meat through the cut in the shell. Grill until lobster meat is an opaque white color
- 4 to 7 more minutes
- basting once more with butter mixture.
- Remove lobster tails from the grill and serve with more garlic butter and lemon wedges.
