Grilled Lobster Tails with Garlic Herb Butter & Lime
Ingredients:
- 4 lobster tails
- 1.5 cups butter
- 1 lime
- 2 cloves garlic
- 3 twigs parsley
- Salt and pepper
Preparation:
Prepare the garlic herb butter & lime marinade
Grilled lobster tastes even more fantastic with a homemade marinade of melted garlic butter with a touch of lime. Melt the butter in a small pot on the stove. Then, add finely chopped garlic and the fresh parsley to the butter along with the lime juice. Season with salt and pepper.
Grilling on the Otto Grill
Heat the Otto Grill for about 5-10 minutes prior to grilling. Make sure to take out the grill grate and put it next to your grill before heating so that it stays cooled.
Lobster marinade
While the Otto Grill heats up, marinate the lobster tails. Take a spoon or brush and spread the melted herb butter all over the lobster meat. The melted butter should run down the sides and stay within the shell to aromatize the crustacean from all sides.
How to grill lobster tail
Place the lobster tails on the grill grate with the cut side facing upwards and place them in the Otto Grill on Meat-O-Meter level 5. Then, take the temperature up to maximum heat and grill the lobster tails for about 2-3 minutes at 650°C. During the middle of this grilling session, add the melted butter to the lobster meat – around the 1-minute mark. Next, turn off the burner and take the lobster out of the oven. The ideal core
temperature for lobsters is around 132-136°F.
