Ingredients
Scale
- 1 stick salted butter
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons chopped chives
- 1 garlic clove (minced)
- Dash of hot sauce
- Ground black pepper
- 4 (7 ounces) lobster tails
Instructions
- Melt the butter in a microwave-safe dish. Stir in lemon juice, chives, garlic, hot sauce, and pepper. Reserve half of the garlic butter for dipping in a separate bowl.
- Using kitchen shears, butterfly the lobster trails down the middle of the softer underside of the shell. Cut the meat down the center without cutting all the way through. Inset a metal skewers so that the lobster tail stands straight. (You can also just cut the lobster tail down the middle if you want all the way through, making two halves).
- Brush the lobster tails with some of the garlic butter. Grill the lobster tails over medium high heat for about 5 minutes or until the shells are bright in color. Brush with the garlic butter again. Continue to grill for about 4 minutes or until the lobster meat is opaque in color.
- Serve with the reserved garlic butter.
