How do you grill lobster tails? That query is one of the most popular grilling questions in America, and we understand why. Although the king of the cookout is typically a perfectly cooked steak, grilled lobster tails are sure to add a little surf elegance to any turf this summer.
While cooking a lobster tail may seem overwhelming if you’re not a grillmaster, it’s actually quite easy and the whole process takes less than one hour.
To start, you should split the lobster tail lengthwise with a sharp knife, something every home cook should have on deck. Then separate the flesh from the shell and brush it with your marinade.
Be sure to insert the skewers lengthwise through the center of the lobster tail — this prevents curling. Then cook the lobster tails for about 10 minutes, turning once. As soon as the lobster turns opaque, it’s ready to be taken off the grill. Once you perfect grilling lobster tails, it'll be a breeze to make these incredible grilled chicken, steak and shrimp recipes.
