Cedar Planked Honey Butter Split Lobster Tails
Elevate the classic lobster + melted butter combo by adding a spoonful of honey to the mix plus the sweet smokiness of a cedar plank!
Ingredients
- Wild Maine Lobster Tails
- Fresh Lemon Juice
- 1 Tbsp honey
- Cilantro or Dill (for garnish)
Instructions
- Soak Cedar Planks for at least two hours before cooking.
- Thaw lobster tails for 24 hours in the fridge before prepping.
- Once thawed, split the lobster tails in half using a sharp chef's knife by starting at the top of the tail and cutting down through to the bottom.
- Drizzle the meat in the tails with a little fresh lemon juice.
- Preheat the oven (or even better the grill) to 375°F.
- Lay the split lobster tails meat side down on the cedar plank.
- Place the cedar plank directly on the grill or oven rack (if in oven, place a cookie sheet below the planks to catch any drippings) and cook at 375°F for 12-15 minutes.
- Melt butter and a spoonful of honey while tails are cooking.
- Remove split tails from the cedar planks and drizzle with honey butter. Feel free to garnish with cilantro or dill.
