Cuban Grilled Lobster Tails With Garlic Curry Butter Recipes

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:

• Heat grill to high. Brush the cut side of the lobster with oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill, cut-side down until golden brown, and just cooked through. Flip for 45 seconds to just heat through. Remove from the grill and slather with curry butter.
• Heat oil in a small saucepan on the grates of the grill or on the side burners. Add onions and garlic, curry powder and wine and cook until reduced, about 30 minutes. Strain. Place the butter in a bowl, add the curry mixture and mix until well combined, season with salt.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, blend together the butter, garlic, and curry powder. Add a few dashes of hot sauce and season with salt and pepper.
• With scissors, cut down the center of the lobster tail shells on the top side and discard the dark intestinal vein. Loosen the meat from the shells and rub it with oil. Season the lobster lightly with salt and pepper. (I often don't do this step if your guests are cool).
• Light a grill. Grill the lobster tails over a medium-hot fire, meaty side down, until light grill marks appear, about 2 minutes. Turn the lobster tails and spread each with about 1 teaspoon of the butter. Turn the lobster meaty side down again and grill until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Turn the lobster tails shell side down and splash with SoCo. Add more butter, but not all, to the lobster tails, poking it in the shell under the meat and on top and let cook until the lobster releases juice and starts simmering, about 3 minutes. The lobster tails will continue to lose translucency until a thin band remains down the center of the tails, this should take about 3 minutes longer. Just before removing from the grill, spread the tails with the remaining butter. Serve right away.

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:

• Make the butter by mixing together all the ingredients, then season and set aside. Can be made two days ahead. Remove from the fridge to soften before using.
• Use kitchen scissors to cut along the tops of the lobster shells, then flip the tails over and crack the ribs of the shell. Use your fingers to open the shell and loosen the meat keeping it attached at the base and pull it half out. Use a knife to cut along the top of the tail without cutting all the way through and remove the vein if you see one. Sit the tail in a shallow roasting tray and add some butter to each one. Tails can be prepared a few hours ahead and chilled.
• Heat the grill to high, then grill the lobster tails for 10 mins until cooked through. Put them on plates and drizzle with the butter from the pan, or pour the butter into a ramekin and put it in the middle of the table for dipping the lobster meat in. Serve with lemon wedges and scatter with extra parsley, if you like.

Steps:

• Preheat Grill.
• In a blender combine the lemon juice, orange juice, orange zest, chipotle and adodo sauce, brown sugar and salt.
• Puree until smooth.
• With motor running slowly add oil.
• Puree for 2 minutes.
• Pour into a bowl and set aside.
• Take a sharp knife and cut lobster tails in half lengthwise.
• Brush sauce on meat.
• Place meat-side down on grill.
• Cook for 3 minutes.
• Turn tails meat side up.
• Drizzle remaining sauce on meat.
• Cook for 4 minutes, or until meat is opaque.
• Serve.

Steps:

• Holding each lobster tail shell side down, cut away the ribbed membrane as close to the shell as possible with kitchen shears.
• Remove lobster meat in one piece from each shell, rinse and pat dry.
• Sprinkle each with lemon juice and set aside.
• In a small saucepan, melt butter with the minced garlic over low heat.
• Remove from heat.
• In a plastic ziplock bag, combine bread crumbs, herbs, garlic powder, cayenne and Parmesan cheese.
• Roll the lobster meat in the garlic butter and shake them in the plastic bag with the bread crumb mixture to coat.
• Return the lobster meat to their shells.
• Grill the lobster tails, shell sides down, on a rack 4-6 inches over glowing coals with some hickory chips added, turning from side to side but not turning over, for 10 minutes.
• Cover and grill another 5 to 10 minutes until they are just cooked through.
