Grilled Citrus Lobster Tails
serves 4

• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1/2 cup EVOO
• 3 T. fresh lime juice
• 2 T. fresh OJ
• 2 tsp. smoked paprika
• 1/2 tsp. citrus grill seasoning
• 1 tsp. minced garlic
• 1-1/2 tsp. kosher sea salt
• 1/4 tsp. black pepper
• 4 lobster tails (8 to 10 oz. each)

Preheat a gas grill for high heat. Lightly oil the grate or spray it with non-stick cooking spray. Using a large chef knife, split the lobster tails lengthwise. Whisk the melted butter and olive oil together in a small bowl. Whisk in the lemon juice, orange juice, smoked paprika, minced garlic, citrus seasoning, salt and pepper.

Brush the meat on the lobster tail halves with the marinade. Let stand for about 3 to 5 minutes, then place the lobster tail halves, meaty side down, on the preheated grill. Grill for about 10 to 12 minutes, turning after about 5 or 6 minutes, and basting the lobster meat with the remaining marinade. The lobster tails are done when the meat is opaque.
