Grilled Lobster Tails
Rate this Recipe
Serves 2 - 4
Ingredients:
4 (4-ounce) frozen lobster tails, defrosted (Have your friendly Jensen’s butcher cut it in half for you) |
1 plum tomato, peeled, seeded, and finely chopped (about 3/4 cup chopped) |
6 tablespoons (for vinaigrette), plus 2 tablespoons (for grilling) extra-virgin olive oil |
2 tablespoons lemon juice |
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest (zest of lemon) |
1 tablespoon fresh tarragon leaves, minced |
2 teaspoons fresh chives, minced |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon white pepper, freshly ground |
Directions:
- Using a sharp knife, cut each lobster tail lengthwise through the shell into 2 pieces. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to grill the lobsters.
- Shortly before grilling the lobsters, in a non-reactive mixing bowl combine the tomatoes, 6 tablespoons of the olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, tarragon, chives, salt and pepper and stir to combine.
- Preheat a grill to medium-high. Lightly brush the lobster tails on the cut side with the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil and season lightly with salt and pepper. Place the tails, cut side down, on the grill and cook for 2 minutes. Rotate the tails 45 degrees and cook the tails for 2 minutes longer.
- Rotate the tails 45 degrees again so that the tails are now cut side-up and cook until lobster is just cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes longer. During these last few minutes, spoon some of the vinaigrette over the cut tail meat so that it drizzles down into the lobster shells.
- Serve the lobster tails with more of the vinaigrette drizzled over the meat.
