Grilled Lobster Tails
- 2 (1 1/4 pound) cooked lobsters
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- To cook the lobsters: Follow the procedure as directed in the Maine Lobster Potpie, reserving the body for the Lobster Stock.
- Split the lobster tails in half lengthwise, keeping them in the shell, and set aside for the salad.
- Chop the claw and knuckle meat into large pieces and reserve for the soup.
- You should have about 1 cup.
- Preheat the broiler or preheat and oil a grill.
- Rub the lobster tails with the oil and season well with salt and pepper.
- Place them on a baking sheet, flesh side up, and broil for about 5 minutes, until the meat is slightly charred on the edges.
- Alternatively, place the lobster tails flesh side down on an outdoor grill and grill for 3 minutes.
- Turn the lobster tails over, using tongs, and cook the shell side for 2 minutes.
- Immediately transfer the lobster tails to the refrigerator or freezer to stop the cooking process.
- Once the tails are cool, pull the meat from the shell.
- Cover and chill until ready to use for the salad.
