Welcome to the flavorful world of backyard barbecuing, where every dish tells a story of smoke, heat, and perfectly balanced seasoning. Today, we're diving into an oceanic delight—grilled lobster tails, elevated by Claibe's BBQ Signature Brand of Dry Rubs. This isn't just about grilling; it's about transforming a simple seafood dish into a gourmet experience with the right mix of spices and techniques.
Grilling lobster tails might seem daunting, but with the right approach, it's a breeze. Here’s a detailed breakdown of how to achieve that perfect, succulent lobster meat using Claibe's Sweet-n-Smokey Chicken & Pork Rub.
Ingredients:
4-6 lobster tails (5-6 ounces each)
1 stick unsalted butter
Claibe's Sweet-n-Smokey Chicken & Pork Rub
Old Bay seasoning (optional, for the traditionalists)
The Prep:
Using lump charcoal like, preheat your grill to between 350-450°F. This higher heat ensures your lobster meat stays tender without becoming rubbery.
Melt a stick of unsalted butter in a small pan directly on the grill. Add a generous sprinkle of Claibe's Sweet-n-Smokey Chicken & Pork Rub to infuse the butter with a rich, balanced flavor.
Using poultry shears, cut down the middle of each lobster tail's shell, carefully pulling the meat up to rest on top of the shell for an elegant presentation. This method also ensures even cooking.
Lightly season the exposed lobster meat with more of Claibe's Sweet-n-Smokey Chicken & Pork Rub. This rub adds a delightful blend of sweetness and smokiness that pairs perfectly with the natural flavors of lobster.
The Cook:
Place the prepared lobster tails on the grill. Close the lid and let them cook for about 5 minutes.
Open the grill and baste the lobster tails with the melted butter mixture. The seasoned butter enhances the lobster's flavor, keeping the meat moist and delicious.
After another 5-7 minutes, check the internal temperature of the lobster meat. You're aiming for 145°F, ensuring the meat is opaque and firm.
Give the lobster tails a final baste with the seasoned butter before removing them from the grill. Serve immediately, perhaps with a wedge of lemon for an extra burst of freshness.
