Grilled Lobster Tails

Lobster tails are a decadent treat that are super easy and fast to cook if you are trying to make something "fancy".  In this recipe we grill them but you can cook them in the oven under the broiler as well.  The hardest part of this process is prepping the lobster tails but once you try it, you'll see that it is super easy.  YouTube it if you need a visual.

Ingredients:

• 2-4 medium to large lobster tails
• 1/2 stick of unsalted butter
• 1 packed tablespoon chopped parsley
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 cloves garlic
• vegetable oil

Preparation:

• Set butter out to become room temperature and soft.
• Once soft, mix in garlic, parsley, and salt and set aside.
• First, use some kitchen sheers / scissors to cut the shell open from the open side down the middle to just before the end of the tail.  
• Use your thumbs to separate the lobster meat from shell gently.  (It will easily separate).
• Run your fingers under the bottom of the shell as well to separate the meat from the bottom.
• Once finished the lobster meat could be almost totally removed from the shell.
• Cut the lobster meat down the center and spread / press it back to flatten.
• Heat grill to about about 400-450.
• Season lobster tail with salt and pepper and brush with vegetable oil.
• Cook meat side down on the grill for about 4 minutes.  It should easily release from the grill.
• Flip to shell side and coat the meat with the butter mixture.
• Close grill lid and cook another 5 minutes.

Enjoy!!
