Citrus BBQ Lobster Tails
This simple one-pan recipe will delight your senses while taking little time, and leaving little cleanup to dampen the enjoyment. Grilling the lobster tails whole until steaming and golden brings out exquisite tender juiciness that can't be beaten.The elegance of this recipe lies in the spicy citrus butter marinade and dipping sauce. Your senses will delight from the combination of lemon, orange, ginger, and chili flakes, and the dish elevated from simple BBQ to gourmet meal. Pair with Elemental Ethereal white Rhone Blend. Enjoy!~ SAM ZinPunk, Winemaker
