Lobster is a luxury item that has been enjoyed by people for centuries. The ancient Greeks and Romans believed that lobster was a food of the gods, and it was often served at feasts and celebrations. In the Middle Ages, lobster was considered a delicacy and was only eaten by the wealthy. Today, lobster is still considered a special occasion food, and it is often served at weddings, anniversaries, and other special events.
Prep time: 15 | Cook time: 10 | Serves: 2
Ingredients
2 lobster tails
1/2 cup grass-fed butter, melted
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
1 tablespoon fresh chives, chopped
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Using kitchen shears, cut the top of the lobster shell lengthwise and remove the vein.
In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter, garlic, parsley, chives, salt, and pepper.
Brush the garlic herb butter generously over the lobster meat.
Place the lobster tails shell-side down on the grill and cook for 8-10 minutes, basting with more butter halfway through.
The lobster is done when the meat is opaque and firm. Serve hot with extra garlic herb butter on the side.
Why It Works
The lobster tails are grilled to perfection, which gives them a slightly smoky flavor.
The garlic herb butter is made with fresh herbs and spices, which gives it a complex flavor.
The butter is melted and poured over the lobster tails, which helps to keep them moist and juicy.
The dish is served hot, which allows you to enjoy the full flavor of the lobster and the garlic herb butter.
