A Free Fast Easy Lobster Recipe Can Be Delectable!

Just because a recipe is free, doesn’t mean that it can’t be a gourmet creation worthy of even the most critical of in-laws. Well, some of them anyway. So fire up your outdoor grill and amaze them with this succulent garlicky lobster!

Outdoor Grilled Lobster Tails (serves 4)

Your Ingredients:

4 8 oz lobster tails
1 stick butter
6 freshly minced garlic cloves
3/4 cup dry white wine (do not use cooking wine, use a wine that you enjoy drinking)
juice of 1/2 fresh lemon
salt, to taste
freshly ground white pepper, to taste
bunch of baby asparagus spears, trimmed
freshly grated Parmesan cheese

THAW frozen lobster tails in refrigerator overnight.

RINSE thawed tails under running water, pat dry with paper towel.

USE kitchen shears to clip the shell down the center of the back between the meat and shell. DO NOT remove the underside membrane and DO leave the fantail intact.

MELT butter and sauté garlic over low heat for 2-3 minutes being careful not to burn.

REMOVE from heat and transfer garlic butter mixture to a bowl.

WHISK in wine, lemon juice, salt and white pepper.

ADD tails and marinate in butter mixture for an hour, turning once.

PLACE tails on an open grill over a medium-hot fire, flesh side down and cook for 3-5 minutes or until the shells are bright red and the meat has turned opaque. DO NOT over cook because the lobster meat will taste like an eraser.

ANY remaining sauce can be used for brushing asparagus spears, basting tails during grilling and warmed and used for dipping.

BRUSH trimmed baby asparagus spears with remaining melted sauce mixture and sprinkle with freshly grated Parmesan cheese. Wrap in foil.

PLACE on grill for about 10 minutes (you should put asparagus on the grill about 5 minutes before adding lobster tails so they’ll be done at the same time)

SERVE on attractive dinner plates.



Always Enjoy!signature_small.jpg
