Lobster Tails With Champagne Vanilla Sauce image

Number Of Ingredients 13

FOR THE SAUCE:
1 vanilla bean (about 4 inches long)
1 sprig fresh thyme, small
1 tablespoon minced shallot
1 cup Brut champagne
1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold
kosher salt
freshly ground black pepper
4 lobster tails (uncooked), about 7 ounce each
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
2 teaspoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon snipped fresh chives
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

Steps:

  • TO MAKE THE SAUCE: Cut the vanilla bean in half and split lengthwise. Place in a small saucepan with the thyme, shallots, and champagne. Bring just to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer until reduced to 1/4 cup. The reduction will be a clear golden color. Remove from the heat and strain the reduction through a sieve. Reserve the vanilla bean. Rinse the saucepan and return the reduction to the pan. Using a sharp paring knife, scrape the seeds from the vanilla bean into the reduction. Bring the reduction to a simmer and whisk in the butter, 1 tablespoon at a time to fully incorporate, until glistening and smooth. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper, if necessary. Remove from the heat and set aside until the lobsters are ready. Keep warm. Place the tails, shell-side down, on a cutting board. Split the tails lengthwise to expose the meat. In a small bowl mash the butter with the lemon juice, chives, and salt using the back of a fork. Spread the butter over the lobster meat and between the shell and the meat. Grill the tails, shell side down, over Direct Medium heat, until opaque throughout, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove the meat from the shells and serve immediately with the warm sauce.From Weber's Big Book of Grilling. Copyright © 2001 Weber-Stephen Products Co. All rights reserved.

The lobster tails were delicious, but the sauce was a bit bland. I added some extra herbs and spices to give it more flavor.

This dish was a bit too rich for my taste, but my husband loved it. I think I'll try making it again with a lighter sauce.

The lobster tails were a bit overcooked, but the sauce was still delicious. Will try again with a shorter cooking time.

This was my first time making lobster tails and they turned out perfectly! The champagne vanilla sauce was the perfect complement to the lobster, and the whole dish was simply divine. I will definitely be making this again.
