Ingredients
Lobster Ingredients:
- 3-4 Whole Lobster Tails
- ½ tbsp of Kosher Salt
- ½ tbsp Garlic Powder
- ½ tbsp of Black Pepper
- Canola Oil as needed
Beer Butter:
- 2 sticks Unsalted Butter melted
- 2 tbsp Minced Garlic
- 2 tbsp Dijon Mustard
- 1.5 tbsp Chopped Parsley
- 2 tsp Red Chili Flakes
- 1 tsp Cayenne Powder
- 1 splash Sam Adams Summer Ale
Instructions
- Using a knife, carefully cut lengthwise down the shell of the lobster tail. Cut until you reach the tail/fin.
- Open the lobster tails up and cut the meat of the tails along the same line as the shell. Cut the spine on the bottom as well as the same line as the meat and shell. Open the lobster tails up to show the meat.
- Slather with oil and season with salt, garlic powder and black pepper.
- Add all your ingredients for the butter sauce to a bowl and mix thoroughly. Set to the side.
- Preheat your grill to a medium high heat (around 400F).
- Add the lobster tail flesh side down to the grill and cook for about 2-3 minutes or until the meat goes from translucent to white and the sheel begins to turn red. Flip the lobster tails and begin to baste using the sauce. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes or once the meat reads 145F internal.
- Pull off and serve with the butter sauce for dipping and enjoy!
Notes
ProTip for Cooking with Lobster
Always start with room temperature lobster tails for even cooking. Cold meat right from the fridge will seize up on the grill on medium heat. Also, don’t walk away—lobster cooks fast. Stay close, baste often, and have your beer ready to toast when those tails hit the plate.Nutrition
