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.

Steps:
- Light the coals in a fire pit 1 hour before cooking or preheat a gas or charcoal grill.
- Using kitchen shears or a sharp knife, cut through the top shell lengthwise. Cut a slit through the meat lengthwise taking care not to cut through the bottom shell. Gently pull the shells apart. Thread a skewer, starting at the underside base of the tail, along the inside of the bottom shell. Brush the meat with 1/4 cup of the clarified butter. Wrap the lobster tails in heavy-duty aluminum foil. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until the lobster meat is opaque.

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. Tails can be prepared a few hours ahead and chilled.
- Heat the grill to high, then grill the lobster tails for 10 mins until cooked through. 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.

GRILLED STUFFED LOBSTER WITH GINGER BUTTER
This is a slightly tricky recipe because even the slightest overcooking can leave the flesh of the lobster dry and rubbery. A good way to grill it is to halve the lobster, searing it briefly meat side down, then flipping it and continuing to cook with the grill's lid on, in effect roasting it. This technique gives the lobster a wonderful smoky edge yet retains the moisture. A ginger-butter sauce and a stuffing combining seasoned breadcrumbs and the lobster roe add a special touch.

Steps:
- Kill the lobsters by plunging a large chef's knife into the joint where the head meets the body. Halve the lobsters lengthwise and cut off the claws. Set aside. Discard the sac on each half lobster near the head. Also remove the the long white strip along the meat, which is the intestines. Remove the lobster roe and reserve.
- In a bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, tarragon, 4 tablespoons butter, the lobster roe, salt and pepper. Set aside.
- Brush the meat of the lobsters with vegetable oil and place them, meat side down, over the fire, along with the claws. Cover and cook about 5 minutes.
- Flip the lobsters and the claws and fill the cavities where the roe was with the breadcrumb mixture. Place one tablespoon of butter and the shallots in a saucepan and place over the grill. Cover the grill and continue cooking.
- When the butter in the saucepan is melted, about 2 minutes, add two tablespoons of white wine vinegar and 2 tablespoons grated ginger. When the vinegar has reduced, another 2 minutes, add 2 tablespoons heavy cream and stir well. Bring to a boil, reduce by half, then stir in remaining butter. When all the butter has melted, remove sauce from heat and keep warm.
- Return the cover and cook the lobster about 8 more minutes. Serve each guest a lobster half with sauce over the meat, and a claw.
