Grilled Lobster Tails With Green Curry Mango Dipping Sauce Recipes

GRILLED LOBSTER TAILS

Steps:

• Using scissors, cut 3 to 4 lengthwise slits in underside of tail to loosen shell slightly. Cut top of lobster shell lengthwise down the center with scissors, leaving tail fin intact. Cut shell at an angle away from the center of the tail at base of tail fin. Loosen meat from shell, keeping the fin end attached; lift meat and lay over shell. , In a small bowl, combine the remaining ingredients; spoon over lobster meat. Cover and refrigerate for 20 minutes., Place lobster tails, meat side up, on grill rack. Grill, covered, over medium heat for 10-12 minutes or until meat is opaque.

Add mango puree and lime juice and cook an additional 5 minutes. Let cool. Place mango mixture in a food processor and add butter. Process until smooth and season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Place a sheet of parchment paper or waxed paper on a work surface. Spread the butter along a long side and form into a roll about 1-inch in diameter, leaving a 1-inch border of paper. Roll up the butter in the paper and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

CUBAN GRILLED LOBSTER TAILS WITH GARLIC-CURRY BUTTER

Steps:

• In a small bowl, blend together the butter, garlic, and curry powder. Add a few dashes of hot sauce and season with salt and pepper.
• With scissors, cut down the center of the lobster tail shells on the top side and discard the dark intestinal vein. Loosen the meat from the shells and rub it with oil. Season the lobster lightly with salt and pepper. (I often don't do this step if your guests are cool).
• Light a grill. Grill the lobster tails over a medium-hot fire, meaty side down, until light grill marks appear, about 2 minutes. Turn the lobster tails and spread each with about 1 teaspoon of the butter. Turn the lobster meaty side down again and grill until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Turn the lobster tails shell side down and splash with SoCo. Add more butter, but not all, to the lobster tails, poking it in the shell under the meat and on top and let cook until the lobster releases juice and starts simmering, about 3 minutes. The lobster tails will continue to lose translucency until a thin band remains down the center of the tails, this should take about 3 minutes longer. Just before removing from the grill, spread the tails with the remaining butter. Serve right away.

GRILLED LOBSTER TAIL POUCHES WITH MANGO BUTTER

Steps:

• Butter -- I love to make the butter ahead of time to let all the flavors combine. Make it earlier that day or even the night before. You can use whatever method you want. Personally, I use my small food processor, but a small mixer works well as does a potato masher or fork to break up the mango. Just mix the mango, shallot (chop the shallot fine, if you are mixing this by hand), honey, lime juice and cilantro. A pinch of salt if you like and simple refrigerate.
• If you have leftover, don't worry. It is wonderful on fish, scallops are amazing, so are shrimp and even chicken breasts.
• Lobster Packets -- I like to use heavy duty aluminum foil, or just a double sheet, but I drizzle a little olive oil on the inside of the package which prevents the onion and mango from sticking. You don't need much, just 1 teaspoon at the most.
• Put 1 lobster tail in the center of each foil pouch and surround it with the mango and onion slices, and just a pinch of the red pepper flakes. Go easy, just a light pinch (you can always leave that out if you don't like the heat). Spread the mango butter (generously) over the lobster. Don't worry if a little spills over into the mango and onions. Top the lobster with 1 lime slice and wrap up your foil pouch like a little package. NOTE: Wrap up the packages, so after 20 minutes you can easily open and take a peak that the tails are done.
• Grill -- I use medium to medium high heat. Grill about 20 minutes.
• Serve -- Since your grilling the lobster, why not also make some potatoes in a pouch and grilled asparagus or green beans for a easy NO clean up dinner. The grilled mango, onion and red pepper is a nice easy side.
