Grilled Split Florida Lobsters

1. 1

   Heat a grill to high.

2. 2

   Put the butter, oil, shallots, garlic, cayenne, orange zest, and salt and pepper to taste in a food processor and pulse until almost smooth.

3. 3

   Spread 1 heaping teaspoon of the seasoned butter over each lobster tail.

4. 4

   In a small saucepan set over low heat, melt the remaining seasoned butter; keep warm.

5. 5

   Put the lobster tails, shell side down, on the grill.

6. 6

   Reduce the heat to medium and grill for 8 minutes.

7. 7

   Turn and grill until the meat is just opaque in the center, about 2 minutes.

8. 8

   Serve with the melted seasoned butter.

9. 9

   Serve these tails with steamed vegetables and bread to take advantage of all that buttery lobster-flavored sauce that pools on the plate.
