Ingredients
-
4 8-10 oz. Lobster tails, Maine are best
-
1/2 cup drawn butter, or compound butter, melted
-
1/2 cup salt, to taste
-
pepper, to taste
Directions
- Salt and boil a large pot of water.Add the lobster tails and boil 3 to 5 minutes, depending on size.Remove and drain well.With the underside of the tail facing up, make a lengthwise cut through the tail meat, but not through the upper shell, or the tail fins. The upper shell will act as a hinge buy keeping the tail in one piece, while exposing tail meat.Heat a charcoal or gas grill to medium-high heat.Brush the lobster flesh with drawn butter, and sprinkle with salt and pepper.Place the tails flesh-side down on the grill and cook over direct heat until slightly charred, about 3 minutes.Turn the tails over so the flesh side is facing up, and brush with melted butter. Grill for 2 to 3 minutes more, brushing once or twice with melted butter.Remove tails to a platter and top with more butter.
