Cajun Rubbed Charcoal grilled PEI Lobster Tails

Ingredients:

Directions:

Method

  • Using kitchen scissors, trim off the small legs on the underside of the lobster tails.
  • Then using a chef knife carefully cut the tails 3/4s of the way through leaving the last bit of shell to hold the now butterflied meat together.
  • Place the tails on a tray and set aside while we make the flavoured butter.
  • Add peeled garlic to a pot and cover with vegetable oil. Allow this to simmer until garlic cloves start to turn golden brown approximately 12-15 minutes on medium heat.
  • Take the garlic off the heat and allow to cool.
  • In a medium sized bowl add your softened room temp butter, all your chopped parsley, chives and lemon zest. As well as the Cajun spices, chilli flakes, Paprika, salt and black pepper.
  • Using a spatula give this a good mix until everything is evenly combined.
  • Lay out your tails so the meat side is facing up. Sprinkle with more Cajun spices and a generous brushing of the butter approximately 1 tablespoon per tail.
  • Place lobsters on the grill shell side down for the first 4-5 minutes of cooking. Then flip and allow the meat to char slightly and pick up even more flavour for the last 3-4 minutes of cooking.
  • When lobster tails come off the grill allow them to rest and using a clean brush give them one more generous brushing of butter.
  • Serve with grilled lemons and enjoy!!
