Holiday Grilled Lobster with Garlic Butter & Cheese Ingredients

Lobster

• 3 Lobsters split in half & cleaned
• 5 tbsp Smoked Chipotle Mezcal Seasoning
• 1 cup Gruyere Cheese grated
• Lemons Sliced for garnish
• Parsley Chopped for garnish

Garlic Butter Sauce

• 5 tbsp White Wine
• 1 tbsp Garlic Minced
• 1 tbsp Shallots Minced
• 1 stick of Unsalted Butter
• 1 tsp Hot Sauce
• ½ tsp Tarragon Chopped

Holiday Grilled Lobster with Garlic Butter & Cheese Directions

1. Lather your split & clean lobster halves with canola oil, then thoroughly season with Chipotle Mezcal seasoning (or your favorite seafood seasoning). Set in the fridge until you are ready to cook.
2. Preheat your grill for direct grilling at a medium temperature (about 350F).
3. Add a cast iron skillet to the flames to preheat for 1 minute. Add your shallots and garlic and let simmer with a little oil until brown (about 2-3 minutes). Deglaze the skillet with the white wine and let simmer for 1 minute. Next, add the butter and hot sauce and let it melt. Once everything is melted and simmering, add your chopped tarragon. Let simmer for one more minute, then pull off and let cool.
4. Pull out your lobster tails and add them to the grill to cook for 2-3 minutes, flesh side down. Flip the lobster tails over and begin adding a spoonful of the Garlic Butter sauce to each. Top each tail with the grated gruyere cheese and cover the lobster tails with a lid or cover to let the cheese caramelize (about 2-3 minutes). Once the lobster tails are done and the cheese is melted, pull them off and let them cool.
5. Garnish the lobster with parsley and lemons. Serve & enjoy!
