Nonstick cooking spray
1/4 cup thinly sliced green onions
2 Tbsp finely chopped shallots or red onion
2-4 Tbsp diced yellow bell peppers
2-4 Tbsp diced red bell peppers
2-4 Tbsp diced orange bell peppers
1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1/8 tsp salt
1/8 tsp sugar
1 tsp red wine vinegar
1 tsp olive oil
2 Tbsp unsalted butter, softened
1 tsp chopped fresh thyme
2 small garlic cloves, minced
4 6 oz lobster tails in shells
4 cups watercress, trimmed

Steps:

Coat grill rack with spray. Preheat grill to medium-high heat. In a medium bowl, combine the onions, shallots, bell peppers. Sprinkle with black pepper, salt and sugar. Drizzle vinegar and oil over mixture and toss. Set aside. Combine in a small bowl butter, thyme and garlic, stirring until well blended. Arrange lobster tails, back sides up, on a cutting board. Carefully cut shells length-wise, cutting to, but not through, the middle of the meat. Open halves (you may need to cut away some of the shell to expose the meat). Arrange tails, cut sides down, on the grill rack. Grill 2 minutes. Turn tails over; divide butter mixture evenly over flesh. Grill 2 minutes or until desired degree of doneness. Arrange 1 cup watercress on each of 4 plates; top each serving with one lobster tail and 2 or more Tbsp of relish.
