Any good Lobster Tail recipes
Intending to make my Memorial Day even more memorial by doing four lobster tails for dinner. I am aware of Houndog's "Dwell in the Shell" method from the archieves and have a question about timeing. His tails were 1 pound monsters. Mine are only half as big. Should I cut the time for grilling and dwelling in half?[p]Also, any other good recipes will be seriously considered.[p]Thanks to the Vets and great grills to you all.[p]Paul

PapaG, I've done Hounddogs 4 times now and for half pounders I find 4 minutes per side works at 400 and I go easy on the lime juice as his recipe makes them a tad too bitter for my tastes. Like he says though pay attention during this particular cook as it's too easy to ruin expen$ive lobster tails.

RRP,[p]Thank you, again, for your response. Looking at my posting I noticed my typo on the moniker (should be PapaQ, not PapaG - must have been thinking of KennyG). I was wondering about the "liberal" use of lime. I'll go easy and if I think it needs more will add it to the garlic butter while dipping.[p]Paul

PapaG,[p]I did split lobster this weekend. Pound-and-a-halfers. I too was looking for something other than Houndog's recipe. [p]At one and a half pounds I found that 8-10 ten minutes at 500º did the trick. So for half-pound tails I'd think that half that time would be about right. [p]I tried a garlikcy butter and that turned out just as fine as Mr. houndog's lime/butter. I found that the lime helped 'cook' the lobster before I put it on the grill. Sort of a cerviche effect. It tenderized the tail. [p]Around here (Philly) they've got lobster on sale ($6 a lb) so it was a good time to experiment. [p]aka mr earl.

PapaQ,[p]Note: I found out that you could NOT overdo the garlic! Cooking it in the butter in the Egg really mellowed it out. I had like two or three cloves per tail.[p]

FlaGal,[p]They look great. Did you do them 5 minutes down and 5 dwell and at what temp?[p]Thanks, Paul
