Ingredients
- Fresh rock lobster tails
- 2 tablespoons miso paste (preferably white or yellow)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 2 fresh garlic cloves, crushed
- Fresh herbs (like chives or cilantro), finely chopped
- 1 lemon, squeezed
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the lobster tails by cutting them in half lengthwise.
- In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter and stir in miso paste and crushed garlic until blended.
- Brush the miso-butter mixture generously over the lobster tails and marinate for about 30 minutes.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat and oil the grill grates lightly.
- Grill the lobster tails cut-side down for about 5–7 minutes, then flip and brush with any remaining miso-butter, grilling for another 5 minutes until opaque.
- Remove from grill, allow to rest, and finish with fresh lemon juice, salt, pepper, and optional herbs.
Notes
If you have leftover miso-butter, it makes a great spread for bread or a dip for vegetables.
