Crusted & Grilled Lobster Tails image

When our sons were quite young, occasionally, after we put them to bed, my husband and I would have a special late night candlelight dinner. Instead of paying for a babysitter, we would fix something really special and just dine in. It was always more fun then going out;>) This was one of our favorites.

Time 40m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 lobster tails, thawed if frozen (6-8-oz. each)
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup dry breadcrumbs
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon thyme
1/4 teaspoon marjoram
1/4 teaspoon oregano
1/4 teaspoon basil
1/4 teaspoon rosemary
1/4 teaspoon sage
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/8 teaspoon cayenne, to taste
1 tablespoon freshly grated parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Holding each lobster tail shell side down, cut away the ribbed membrane as close to the shell as possible with kitchen shears.
  • Remove lobster meat in one piece from each shell, rinse and pat dry.
  • Sprinkle each with lemon juice and set aside.
  • In a small saucepan, melt butter with the minced garlic over low heat.
  • Remove from heat.
  • In a plastic ziplock bag, combine bread crumbs, herbs, garlic powder, cayenne and Parmesan cheese.
  • Roll the lobster meat in the garlic butter and shake them in the plastic bag with the bread crumb mixture to coat.
  • Return the lobster meat to their shells.
  • Grill the lobster tails, shell sides down, on a rack 4-6 inches over glowing coals with some hickory chips added, turning from side to side but not turning over, for 10 minutes.
  • Cover and grill another 5 to 10 minutes until they are just cooked through.
