Lobster Tails

Another favorite that my BIL and his wife taught us to make is lobster tails.  We often do these on the grill but they can also be done in a skillet.


Ingredients:

• Lobster Tails
• Chopped Garlic
• Butter

Directions:

• Melt your garlic and butter and let it sit to cool.
• Cut a slit in your lobster tail down the back side leaving the belly in tact.
• Once the butter has cooled some, pour it into each tail.  You can also add extra seasoning if desired.
• Grill: place tails belly side down on the grill.  It will change to a pinkish color on the shell and the meat will turn white (like a huge shrimp) and sort of pull away from the shell once it is cooked which isn't very long.  Probably 10 minutes.
• Here are several different methods for cooking them:

• It seems that my SIL prepares them the same way as we do for grilling.  I think she put a little water in the bottom of the skillet and cooks them flesh side down for 3 minutes, then shell side down for about 7, and cover for the last 6 or so minutes.
