Grilled Split Florida Lobsters
Ingredients
Instructions
- Heat a grill to high.
- Put the butter, oil, shallots, garlic, cayenne, orange zest, and salt and pepper to taste in a food processor and pulse until almost smooth.
- Spread 1 heaping teaspoon of the seasoned butter over each lobster tail.
- In a small saucepan set over low heat, melt the remaining seasoned butter; keep warm.
- Put the lobster tails, shell side down, on the grill.
- Reduce the heat to medium and grill for 8 minutes.
- Turn and grill until the meat is just opaque in the center, about 2 minutes.
- Serve with the melted seasoned butter.
- Serve these tails with steamed vegetables and bread to take advantage of all that buttery lobster-flavored sauce that pools on the plate.
- These also go well with Grilled Green Onions (page 126).
