There’s no easier way to enjoy fresh local lobster this summer than grilling up shucked lobster tails. This basic but extraordinarily delicious recipe is quick and easy, whether your feeding a crowd or sneaking a savory lobster tail for yourself!

Grilled Lobster Tails 

Serves 4

Ingredients: 
Four 8-10 oz lobster tails
1/2 lb. (one stick) butter, melted
1 – 2 tablespoons chopped tarragon
2 large garlic cloves, minced
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Preparation: 
If frozen, defrost the lobster tails overnight in the refrigerator. Tails should be fully thawed before grilling.

Pre-heat the grill to medium high. While the grill is getting hot, melt the butter in a saucepan and add minced garlic, chopped tarragon, and salt + pepper to taste.

Place the lobster tails on the grill, meat side up, for 4 – 5 minutes. Baste the lobster meat with the garlic/tarragon butter and flip the tails over. Grill for an additional 2 minutes, remove from the heat and enjoy! Use any leftover garlic/tarragon butter for dipping.
