Steps:
- Combine butter, minced garlic, hot sauce, and pepper in a bowl; mix until fully combined. Set aside.
- Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
- Butterfly lobster tails by cutting lengthwise through the centers of the hard top shells and about halfway through the top of the meat with kitchen shears. With your fingers, press shell halves of the tails apart. Flip them over, and insert a skewer down the lobster tail so that the tail is easier to remove after cooking and doesn't curl up. Brush tails with olive oil and season with salt.
- Place lobster tails on the preheated grill with the cut shell sides down; grill until shells are bright in color, 5 to 8 minutes. Flip and spoon 1 tablespoon butter mixture onto the butterflied meat through the cut in the shell. Grill until lobster meat is an opaque white color, 4 to 7 more minutes, basting once more with butter mixture.
- Remove lobster tails from the grill and serve with more garlic butter and lemon wedges.

Steps:
- Preheat your grill to direct medium-high heat.
- In a small bowl blend butter, chives, tarragon, minced garlic, hot sauce, and black pepper with a rubber spatula. Blend thoroughly. Cover with plastic wrap and reserve.
- Using kitchen shears, butterfly the lobster tails straight down the middle of the softer underside of the shell. Cut the meat down the center without cutting all the way through. Insert a metal skewer down the lobster tail so the tail stands straight. Brush the tails with olive oil and season with salt, to taste.
- Grill lobsters cut side down over medium high heat about 5 minutes, until the shells are bright in color. Turn the tails over and spoon a generous tablespoon of herbed butter onto the butterflied meat. Grill for another 4 minutes, or until the lobster meat is an opaque white color.
- Remove lobster tails from the grill and serve with more herb butter and lemon wedges. Garnish with chive sprigs.

Steps:
- Defrost the lobster tails.
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
- Using kitchen shears cut down the center of top of each tail down to the base. Next grab each side of the shell and gently pry the shell away from the meat- leaving the meat at the base of the tail attached. Squeeze the shell together to close the gap and lay the meat on top of the shell. Gently slice the meat 3 times down the top- enough to be able to lay the meat over the sides of the shell. Repeat for the remaining tails.
- Place the tails in an oven safe pan and brush the top of each tail with the marinade. You will want to baste the tails again 2 or 3 times during the cooking process.
- Bake the tails for about 25 minutes. Cooking times may vary so make sure you keep an eye on the tails!

Steps:
- 1. Rinse and butterfly the lobster tails. Lay the bellyside up. Pierce just proximal to the tail with a sharp knife and cut through the belly. When you get down to the shell, press hard to cut through. Kitchen sheers will also work nicely. Do not completely separate lobster tails.
- 2. Gently expose part of the meat out along each tail and rinse again and pat dry.
- 3. Combine oil, lemon, butter, paprika, garlic and pinch of salt and pepper in mixing bowl. Brush marinade on lobster tails.
- 4. Grill the lobster on medium heat, with meat side down and frequently brush on the marinade. Cook the lobster tail until the meat is white and opaque and firm to touch, about 8-12 min depending on size. Remove from the grill.
- 5. Baste one more time with the butter and cover with aluminum foil. Let the meat rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.
- 6. NOTE: You don't want to cook over direct heat as the garlic lemon butter that you are going to baste the tails with will catch fire. Flame-ups will cook the tails too quickly and you will end up with dried out meat. Keep a spray bottle of water with you next to the grill, in case of flame-ups.
