Ingredients
- Lobster tails
- Water
- Salt
- Melted butter
- Lemon juice
Instructions
- Insert a wooden skewer into the lobster tails to prevent them from curling.
- Fill a large saucepan with water and add 1 teaspoon of salt for each gallon of water.
- Once the water has reached a fierce boil, drop the tails in and cook for 4 minutes.
- Drain the tails and position them on their backs once they have cooled slightly.
- Using a sharp knife, split the soft top shell of the tail lengthwise down the middle, but leave the hard shell underneath intact.
- Pour some melted butter and lemon juice over the meat of the tails or brush a marinade of lemon juice, olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika over the meat and place shell side down onto a pre-heated grill.
- Grill for approximately to 8 minutes with a medium-high heat, or until the meat is opaque, no longer transparent and firm to the touch.
- The tails may be turned over halfway through cooking if desired.
- Remove from the grill and serve hot with lemon and melted butter.
