Last night I made lobster tails for four; while I've had these in restaurants several times, it was a first attempt for me at home. The tails themselves were a mail-order gift from my brother and sister-in-law, and arrived frozen, from Maine. Was a little skeptical at first; I was pretty concerned about overcooking and drying them out, but I followed the recipe below to the letter, and they were absolutely perfect -- moist and flavorful. Paired with grilled portabello mushrooms, grilled onions and wild rice pilaf. Fantastic.

Recipe follows, with some tips:

Grilled Lobster Tails

Like most recipes, many cooks have their own favorite way to serve lobster... I feel they taste best simply prepared, with a virtually "pure" taste. OK, with some lemon and butter on the side. This recipe strongly suggests parboiling them before grilling, especially if the lobster tails are frozen.

-= Ingredients =- 4 Lobster tails ; approximately 6-7 oz each 5 tb Butter 2 medium Lemons 4 Wooden or metal skewers

-= Instructions =- In advance: If lobster tails are frozen, put them in the fridge in a ziploc bag on a plate at least the night before, or, if necessary, soak them in cold water to return them to a thawed state before starting the recipe below.

Bring grill to medium-high heat.

Run a wooden or metal skewer through the tails (toward the red shell side) for support, to prevent them from curling. Then, I strongly recommend parboiling them before grilling. Get one large stockpot of water to full boil, then turn it down to a gentle boil. Plunge lobster tails into water and gently boil them for about 2 minutes.

Remove them from boiling water. Place them on a cutting board, shell side (i.e., red-side) down, and slice lengthwise through the softer (whiter) shell, lengthwise, the full cut.

Place butter in, and squeeze lemon juice directly in the shells.

Then place them on the grill, red shell side down. Grill, covered, for 2-3 minutes more. Serve with lemon wedges and melted butter.

Consider pairing with any combination of these choices: asparagus, grilled onions, grilled portabello mushrooms, grilled zucchini, crisp and cool white wine, broccolini, corn, broccoli, rice, roasted red bliss potatoes.
