Greenhead Lobster's Maine lobster tails grill up in minutes for a sweet, buttery taste of the coast.
Method
Directions
-
1
Heat the grill or broiler to medium, approximately 350°F. Less heat is needed than for steak or quick-cooking meats; the entire process should take no more than 5-6 minutes.
-
2
Split the lobster tails in half lengthwise. Liberally baste the split tails with butter or flavored oil.
-
3
Grill 3 minutes flesh-side to the flame.
-
4
Flip the lobster tails shell-side to the heat. Loosely cover with a disposable pie plate or foil and grill for 3 to 4 minutes.
-
5
Remove the pie plate or foil and grill for another minute, until the tail meat is opaque and easily removed from the shell.
