Grilled Lobster Tail

Ingredients

• 1 1/4 pound lobster tails (thawed, if frozen)
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon garlic salt
• 1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
• 1 Tablespoon butter (well softened)

Instructions

1. 1

   Brush grill grates with a small amount of vegetable oil, or spray with cooking spray. Preheat grill on high.

2. 2

   Use kitchen shears to cut down the center of the lobster shell, cutting all the way to the tail (but not through the tail). Turn lobster over and press along the underside with your thumbs to crack the underbelly shell.

3. 3

   Turn lobster tail over again and spread the shell open, exposing the meat.

4. 4

   Season the meat with black pepper, garlic salt, and Old Bay seasoning. You will have some left over.

5. 5

   Brush the seasoned meat with well softened butter.

6. 6

   Place lobster tails, meat side down, on the preheated grill. Because the grill is on high, it may flame up. You can use a spray bottle to mist the flames a bit. After about 30-45 seconds, enough to sear the meat, turn the grill down to medium.

7. 7

   With grill on medium, use tongs to occasionally move the tails around a little to make sure they are not sticking to the grill. Cook for 8-10 minutes then turn over, meat side up.

8. 8

   Cook for 5 minutes more (about 15 minutes total), occasionally turning over.

9. 9

   Remove from grill, wrap in foil, and allow to rest for 5 minutes.
