Ingredients

  • Garlic Cloves 
  • Lobster Tails 
  • Lemon 
  • 1/2 stick Butter 

Instructions

Step 1

Set the EGG for indirect cooking with the convEGGtor at 350°F/176°C.

Step 2

Dice up the Garlic cloves very fine.

Step 3

In a microwave safe dish, put the 1/2 stick of butter, fresh squeezed lemon and chopped garlic. Microwave 30 seconds or until the butter melts. Mix well.

Step 4

Using a good pair of scissors, cut the round part of the lobster (the hard top exterior) from the top to the bottom.

Step 5

Glaze the Lobster Tail with the butter mixture.

Step 6

Grill the lobster top down (round side with the cut down) on indirect heat 7 minutes (if you are doing a large lobster, over 1 lb (0.5 kg), cook 10 minutes).

Step 7

Flip the lobster over, re-glaze with the butter mixture, and cook top up (flat side of lobster on the grill) for 4 minutes.

Step 8

Your lobster should be opaque and done. When you de-shell the lobster, it should be fluffy with a bit of firmness.

Step 9

TRICK: When grilling lobster it will curl as it cooks as the Lobster meat expands. To avoid the lobster from curling, still a kabob skewer through the tail from to back.
