Lobster tails - how to cook??

With Valentines day coming, I would like to do something special for my husband but not a loud evening out as his father just passed away and he's not really up for a lot yet. A local grocery store has lobster tails on sale this week so I was going to do steak and lobster (BBQ the steak). Problem is, I HATE seafood, fish, etc. and have no idea how to go about cooking/seasoning it! What is your favorite way to eat it? How do yo usually cook it? Thank you all!Lobster tails - how to cook??

I don't like seafood either, but my husband does. We pick up a boiled lobster at our supermarket whenever he is hungry for one. Ask the fish department to boil one for you.


All you need for lobster is melted butter and a tool for him to crack the shells.





As for the steak, cook it in the house like this:

Serve only with a tossed salad and maybe a dessert. I usually pick up a frozen Key Lime pie at the supermarket.
Cut your tails in half lenthwise. Mix some olive oil with minced garlic, lemon juice, black pepper and salt and coat your lobster in them. Heat your grill to medium high and place meat side down on the grates. Grill for 4-5 minutes, flip and repeat. Serve with melted butter with garlic and lemon in it. YUM
There should be detailed instructions on the package on how to cook them, follow them exactly as an overcooked lobster tail is a travesty and crime against nature!
