Servings 4 Servings
Ingredients
- 4 lobster tails
- 2 sticks unsalted butter 1/2 pound
- 1 tablespoon white wine
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 2 teaspoons fines herbes
- 2 teaspoons frozen orange juice concentrate thawed
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- lemon wedges for garnish
Instructions
- Set up grill for direct cooking over medium heat. Oil grates when ready to start grilling.
- Using kitchen shears, split lobster tails in half lengthwise.
- In a saucepan, melt butter over medium-low heat. Skim foam. Stir in wine, lemon juice, lime juice, fines herbs, orange juice concentrate, and salt. Measure out 1/2 cup for basting; set aside the rest.
- Brush meat of lobster tails with some butter baste. Place tails, meat side down, on grill. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Flip to shell side down. Brush with remaining baste.
