Categories     main-dish

Time 20m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 stick salted butter, at room temperature
2 tablespoons chopped chives
1 tablespoon chopped tarragon leaves
1 clove garlic, minced
Dash hot sauce
Freshly ground black pepper
4 (7-ounce) lobster tails
Olive oil
Kosher salt
Lemon wedges, for garnish
Chive sprigs

Steps:

  • Preheat your grill to direct medium-high heat.
  • In a small bowl blend butter, chives, tarragon, minced garlic, hot sauce, and black pepper with a rubber spatula. Blend thoroughly. Cover with plastic wrap and reserve.
  • Using kitchen shears, butterfly the lobster tails straight down the middle of the softer underside of the shell. Cut the meat down the center without cutting all the way through. Insert a metal skewer down the lobster tail so the tail stands straight. Brush the tails with olive oil and season with salt, to taste.
  • Grill lobsters cut side down over medium high heat about 5 minutes, until the shells are bright in color. Turn the tails over and spoon a generous tablespoon of herbed butter onto the butterflied meat. Grill for another 4 minutes, or until the lobster meat is an opaque white color.
  • Remove lobster tails from the grill and serve with more herb butter and lemon wedges. Garnish with chive sprigs.

GRILLED LOBSTER TAILS WITH LEMON & HERB BUTTER



Grilled lobster tails with lemon & herb butter image

Treat guests to grilled lobster tails served with a lemon, garlic and parsley butter. They take a little effort, but make an impressive dinner party dish

Provided by Barney Desmazery

Categories     Dinner, Main course

Time 30m

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 lobster tails, defrosted if frozen
lemon wedges, to serve
125g butter , softened
1 garlic clove , crushed
handful parsley leaves, finely chopped, plus extra to serve
1 tsp Dijon mustard
small pinch chilli powder , optional
1 lemon , juiced

Steps:

  • Make the butter by mixing together all the ingredients, then season and set aside. Can be made two days ahead. Remove from the fridge to soften before using.
  • Use kitchen scissors to cut along the tops of the lobster shells, then flip the tails over and crack the ribs of the shell. Use your fingers to open the shell and loosen the meat keeping it attached at the base and pull it half out. Use a knife to cut along the top of the tail without cutting all the way through and remove the vein if you see one. Sit the tail in a shallow roasting tray and add some butter to each one. Tails can be prepared a few hours ahead and chilled.
  • Heat the grill to high, then grill the lobster tails for 10 mins until cooked through. Put them on plates and drizzle with the butter from the pan, or pour the butter into a ramekin and put it in the middle of the table for dipping the lobster meat in. Serve with lemon wedges and scatter with extra parsley, if you like.

Tips:

  • Choose the right lobster tail: Look for lobster tails that are firm and have a slight briny smell. Avoid lobster tails that are soft or have a strong fishy odor.
  • Thaw the lobster tail properly: If your lobster tail is frozen, thaw it in the refrigerator overnight or in a bowl of cold water for about 30 minutes. Do not thaw the lobster tail in hot water, as this can make the meat tough.
  • Prepare the confetti relish: While the lobster tail is thawing, prepare the confetti relish. This can be done ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator until ready to use.
  • Preheat your grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. You can also use a grill pan if you do not have a grill.
  • Brush the lobster tail with butter: Brush the lobster tail with melted butter before grilling. This will help to keep the meat moist and prevent it from sticking to the grill.
  • Grill the lobster tail: Grill the lobster tail for 8-10 minutes per side, or until the meat is opaque and cooked through. The internal temperature of the lobster tail should be 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Serve the lobster tail with confetti relish: Serve the lobster tail immediately with confetti relish. You can also garnish the lobster tail with fresh herbs, such as parsley or cilantro.

Conclusion:

Grilled lobster tail with confetti relish is a delicious and impressive dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The lobster tail is tender and juicy, and the confetti relish adds a bright and flavorful touch. This dish is sure to be a hit with your guests.
