Grilled Lobster Tails
4- to 5-ounce lobster tails, 1 per person, (2 if you're lucky)
Salt
Butter, melted
Lime juice, optional
Thyme, optional
How to cook lobster tails on the grill:
First, parboil the lobster tails in salted water for 2 or 3 minutes. Cool.
Split the back shell, to butterfly, with kitchen scissors or a sharp knife, being careful not to cut them in half.
Finish cooking over hot coals, turning once, for a total of just 3 to 5 minutes. (Adjust the cooking time for larger or smaller lobster tails.) Do not overcook unless your goal is very expensive rubber.
Serve with melted butter. For a gourmet touch, add a generous squeeze of fresh lime and a pinch of thyme to the butter before melting it. Stir and serve.
