Get ready to indulge in a tantalizing blend of smoky, spicy, and citrusy flavors!
Preparing the Lobster Tails
To start, gather eight whole lobster tails and carefully remove the meat from the shells. Make a vertical cut along the top and bottom sides of the shell, then use your thumb as a wedge to gently pull out the meat, ensuring it stays intact. For some added flair, make a perpendicular cut along the bottom of the tail, keeping the bottom fan of the tail attached.
Infusing Flavor with Seasoning
Now it’s time to infuse the lobster tails with an explosion of flavors. Grab a small bowl and mix together a generous amount of my Smoked Chipotle Mezcal blend with some oil. Use a basting brush to evenly coat each lobster tail with this delectable seasoning. Feel free to adjust the amount of oil or seasoning according to your taste preferences.
Skewering and Grilling
Once the lobster tails are perfectly seasoned, it’s time to skewer them. Thread the tails onto two large skewers, ensuring that the meaty portion of the tail sits on top. This method allows for even cooking and easy handling on the grill.
Now, fire up your grill and lay the skewers across the middle. For optimal heat distribution, place the bright orange charcoal on the east and west sides of the grill. If you’re using a kettle-style grill, close the lid to let the heat circulate evenly around the lobster tails.
A Tangy Finishing Touch
While the lobster tails cook, prepare a simple and delicious butter sauce. Combine all the ingredients in a cast iron sauce bowl and let them fuse together over the grill. Once the lobster tails are no longer translucent, spoon the butter sauce over each tail. Let them cook a bit longer, being mindful of any potential flare-ups, then carefully remove them from the grill.
Serving the Grilled Delicacies
The moment of truth has arrived! Gently slide the grilled lobster tails off the skewers and arrange them on a serving dish. For an extra burst of flavor, drizzle a bit more of the butter sauce over each tail. If you’re feeling adventurous, mix some lime juice and sour cream together and add a squeeze of the tangy blend to each tail.
