Steps:
- Combine butter, minced garlic, hot sauce, and pepper in a bowl; mix until fully combined. Set aside.
- Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
- Butterfly lobster tails by cutting lengthwise through the centers of the hard top shells and about halfway through the top of the meat with kitchen shears. With your fingers, press shell halves of the tails apart. Flip them over, and insert a skewer down the lobster tail so that the tail is easier to remove after cooking and doesn't curl up. Brush tails with olive oil and season with salt.
- Place lobster tails on the preheated grill with the cut shell sides down; grill until shells are bright in color, 5 to 8 minutes. Flip and spoon 1 tablespoon butter mixture onto the butterflied meat through the cut in the shell. Grill until lobster meat is an opaque white color, 4 to 7 more minutes, basting once more with butter mixture.
- Remove lobster tails from the grill and serve with more garlic butter and lemon wedges.

MY MOST COVETED SECRET: HERB-GARLIC BUTTER HAMBURGERS ON A GRILL
This recipe is, quite honestly, my most coveted of all! Once you taste these wonderful grilled burgers, all other burgers will take a back seat to these for the rest of your life! I made these for my son about a year ago, and he insists on nothing else from the grill. Just wait and see...

Steps:
- Place all the herbs, garlic, pepper, and butter in a small mixing bowl and beat with a wooden spoon until slightly fluffy.
- (you can do the mixing with a or food processor) Place a 12" square piece of plastic wrap or parchment paper on your work surface and mound the flavored butter in the center.
- Roll herb butter into cylinder shape within plastic, twisting the ends to compress the butter.
- Chill the butter in the refrigerator or freeze until firm.
- Butter will keep for up to 5 days in the refrigerator or up to 3 months in the freezer.
- Burger Preparation: Make hamburger patties as usual, but for each one place your thumb in the middle and press an indentation almost through (but not quite) to the other side of the meat.
- Unwrap formed butter and cut crosswise into 1/4-1/2" discs. (You will be using approximately 4 tablespoons Herb-Garlic Butter per 1 1/2 pound of ground meat).
- Form hamburger patty fully around one butter disc, pressing gently to seal the disc into the dead center of the meat.
- (not too much pressing! It will make your burgers dense and tough) Place burgers on hot grill (preheated to high if using a gas grill).
- Grill burgers until cooked to doneness, (about 5 to 7 minutes per side for medium-done).
- Place burgers on a serving plate, add cheese, if desired, but do not serve for about 5 minutes, to allow flavors to fully meld.
- Brush buns with melted butter and toast on the grill for a few seconds.
- Serve with any toppings of your choice.
