Categories     100+ Everyday Cooking Recipes     Gourmet     Main Dishes     Seafood

Time 25m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

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

Steps:

  • 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.

Time 30m

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 lobster tails, defrosted if frozen
lemon wedges, to serve
125g butter , softened
1 garlic clove , crushed
handful parsley leaves, finely chopped, plus extra to serve
1 tsp Dijon mustard
small pinch chilli powder , optional
1 lemon , juiced

Steps:

  • Make the butter by mixing together all the ingredients, then season and set aside. Can be made two days ahead. Remove from the fridge to soften before using.
  • Use kitchen scissors to cut along the tops of the lobster shells, then flip the tails over and crack the ribs of the shell. Use your fingers to open the shell and loosen the meat keeping it attached at the base and pull it half out. Use a knife to cut along the top of the tail without cutting all the way through and remove the vein if you see one. Sit the tail in a shallow roasting tray and add some butter to each one.

Put them on plates and drizzle with the butter from the pan, or pour the butter into a ramekin and put it in the middle of the table for dipping the lobster meat in. Serve with lemon wedges and scatter with extra parsley, if you like.
