Things To Grab
- Silicone pastry brush
- Small bowl
- Charcoal or gas grill
Directions
- Brush lobster tail halves with olive oil and season with salt; let stand at room temperature for 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, Make Tarragon Butter: In a small bowl, combine butter with tarragon leaves, parsley, lemon zest, and shallot or chives. Cover and keep chilled until ready to serve.
- Grease the rack of a charcoal or gas grill.
- Prepare a charcoal or gas grill for direct cooking over medium-high heat on one side and low heat on the other. Place plank directly over medium-high heat and warm for 2 to 3 minutes, turning occasionally, until wood is lightly toasted on both sides. Move plank to the low heat side.
- Grill lobster tail halves cut side down on a well-greased grate until grill marks form, about 3 minutes. Turn lobster tail halves over onto plank and cook, lid closed, until the meat is white and firm, about 8 more minutes. Brush cut side of lemon halves with oil and grill over direct medium heat, cut side down, for 1 minute or until marks form. Cut lemon halves into quarters.
- Serve lobster tail halves with lemon and Tarragon Butter.
