Ingredients:
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 2 | Lobster tails |
| 1/4 – 1/2 | Butter |
| – | Lemon juice |
| – | Garlic salt |
Instructions:
-
Preparation: If you’re using 16 oz tails, have the store crack or split each tail in half. For 8 or 9 oz tails, crack them yourself by bending with the hard side of the tail down, ensuring they lay flat while grilling.
-
Prepare the Tails: Cut off the bottom side of each tail, removing the skin and hard pieces while leaving the points intact.
-
Grilling: Preheat your grill to medium heat. Place the tails shell side down on the grill and cover. Grill for approximately 7 minutes.
-
Basting: While grilling, baste the tails generously with a mixture of butter, lemon juice, and garlic salt. Repeat this process 5 or 6 times during the grilling process.
-
Flipping: After 7 minutes, carefully turn the tails over and grill them with the cover down for another 7 to 8 minutes, or until they are cooked through. Avoid basting during this phase.
-
Serving: Once cooked to perfection, serve your lobster tails hot off the grill. Pair them with a side of browned butter, fluffy potatoes, and crisp coleslaw for a complete and utterly satisfying meal experience.
