Citrus Grilled Lobster Tail
Ingredients:
6 (3- to 4-oz) Lobster Tails, thawed, split
1 stick butter, unsalted, room temp
2 tsp orange zest
1 lime, sliced
½ red Anaheim pepper, sliced
½ bunch cilantro, chopped
3 cloves garlic, smashed
2” knob ginger, sliced
Salt & Pepper to taste
Directions:
Set your grill to medium-high. Lay out the tin foil about 12 inch pieces. Place sliced ginger, peppers and lime. Toss a garlic clove and a portion of cilantro on top of that layer. Lay one lobster tail on each piece of foil cut side up.
Top each tail with a little bit of butter, orange zest and season with salt and ground black pepper. Tightly close the foil packets around the tails and make sure you have no holes. Place the packets on the grill for 10 – 12 minutes while rotating and turning a few times. When the tails are done, the meat should be opaque and the shell bright red.
