INGREDIENTS

  • 6 small uncooked lobster tails
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
  • 2 medium lemons, for garnish
  • Salt & pepper, to taste

DIRECTIONS

  1. Preheat gas grill on HIGH. Rinse lobsters in cold water and pat dry. Split lengthwise through the back of the shell and lobster meat. Run a skewer through the length of the tail to prevent curling. To prepare the marinade: combine olive oil, lemon juice, dill, salt and pepper. Brush marinade onto the lobster meat with basting a brush.
  2. Reduce heat to MEDIUM. Place tails on grill, meat side down for 1 minute. Turn tails shell side down for 8-10 minutes or until the shell is red and the meat is white. Remove skewers and serve with lemon wedges.
