Ingredients

For the Main Event

  • 6 to 8 (3- to 4-ounce) Lobster Tails
  • 1 stick butter, unsalted, room temp
  • 1 lime, zested, quartered
  • 2 fresno peppers, seeded, minced
  • 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded, minced
  • 4 Tbsp cilantro, minced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Ā¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
  • Salt & FGBP to taste

Instructions

For the Main Event

In a large bowl or food processor, combine butter, cilantro, peppers, lime zest, and garlic. Spread halved lobster tailsĀ on a sheet tray or plate and drizzle with olive oil, and then season with salt, freshly ground black pepper and cayenne.

Fire up the grill (or a cast iron pan over medium-high heat.) Once the grill is hot, place lobster tails flesh side down on the grill and cook for 2 minutes to develop some nice color. Turn the tails and brush with cilantro butter.

Cook for another 3 minutes or until done. Serve with melted cilantro butter and lime wedges. Think of grilled corn and roasted fingerling potatoes with this!
