        Another great option for summer grilling is lobster tails. Lobster can be a bit expensive where I live so I only prepare it occasionally but when I do it is a real treat.

If you have access to fresh lobster, that’s perfect but if you live in a place like I do, you will probably have to get it frozen. You will want it thawed when grilling. I just left mine in the refrigerator overnight. The lobster tails are cut in half and then brushed with a garlic butter sauce and grilled. Just be careful not to overcook the lobster. Enjoy.
