Ingredients needed for Caicos Lobster Tail
Method to prepare Caicos Lobster Tail
- Melt butter and add crushed garlic clove
- With good kitchen shears, snip the back of the lobster shell up the middle, stopping when you reach the tail fan.
- Insert a chef’s knife into the cut, and with a rocking motion cut through the flesh, scoring the underside of the shell but stopping short of cutting through.
- Open the now butterflied tail.
- Using your fingers, release the meat from the shell, but leaving it attached at the very end of the tail.
- Remove any unwanted grit and pat dry.
- Brush with butter and sprinkle with the herb mix.
- Replace the lobster into the shell.
- Brush the surface with butter, squeeze on a little lime juice.
- Prepare a hot grill and oil the grate.
- Sear the lobster flesh side down until marked - about 2 minutes.
- Turn shell side down, reduce the flame, and brush with additional garlic butter.
- Close the lid and grill until opaque - about 6-8 minutes for an 8 oz tail, basting with butter once.
