There’s this big mystique about lobster being hard to cook. Frankly it’s no more difficult than a grilled peanut butter and jelly – it’s just more expensive. Try it and see.
Ingredients
- 4 lobster tails
- 1/4 cup butter
- 2 tablespoons fresh thyme, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- Juice of 1 whole lemon
- 2 cloves garlic, chopped
- 1/3 cup scallions, thinly sliced
Steps
- Mix all ingredients except tails in small pot over low heat until melted
- Using kitchen shears or really good scissors – cut right up the middle of the shell to towards the tail, but don’t cut through the tail
- Using the cut as your guide, take a good knife and cut all the way down through the meat but do not cut through the bottom shell
- Pull back the sides of the shell to expose the meat and brush well with the butter mixture
- Heat grill to medium high and grill meat-side down for approximately 5-6 minutes, then turn and cook another 3-4 minutes or until done
- Serve with extra butter sauce
