Lobster Tail

Lobster Tail

What you need:

• 1 large or colossal lobster tail
• salt & pepper to taste
• garlic butter or Notre Dame butter

Directions:

First, gently thaw your lobster tail either in cold water or in fridge overnight. Take thawed tail, rinse with cold water in colander and place in pot of sea salted water on stove. Let water come to a boil and reduce to simmer for at least 5-8 minutes. Remove the tail from water and gently split the shell down the centre with lobster shears.  Place back in water if centre is overly raw compared to outer layer and bring to another boil and then simmer for about 4-5 minutes. Remove tail from water, then butterfly the meat by spreading open the shell. Place on grill and cook at medium high for about 15-20 minutes for a large tail. Check to see that meat is done at the most centre part of the tail. Cooking times with vary depending on the size of the tail. Serve with melted butter on the side.
