Ingredients

  • 1/2 c. butter - (1 stick)
  • 1 1/2 tsp Madras curry pwdr
  • 2 tsp finely-minced red finger chile pepper Salt to taste Freshly-grnd black pepper to taste
  • 4 x frzn lobster tails - (6 to 8 ounce ea) thawed, cleaned
  • 1/4 c. lime juice (juice of 2 limes)

Directions

  1. In a small saucepan heat butter. Add in curry pwdr and chile pepper; heat for 1 to 2 min. Add in salt and pepper to taste.
  2. Rinse lobster tails and pat dry. Turn lobster tails shell-side down. To expose meat, cut lengthwise through bottom shell with kitchen shears or possibly sharp knife. Bend tail along cut to crack open shell a little wider. (You can also cut bottom shell lengthwise along each side and remove.) Sprinkle 1/2 Tbsp. lime juice on meaty portion of each lobster tail. Spread 1 Tbsp. of butter mix on each lobster tail. Reserve remaining butter mix.
  3. Place lobster tails shell-side down on center of cooking grate. Grill 8 to 10 min or possibly till meat is opaque. Serve with remaining butter mix, if you like.
  4. This recipe yields 4 servings.
  5. Wine Recommendation: A Chardonnay from the Carneros area of California, with accents of pineapple and melon, will counterbalance the spicy curry and chile pepper.
  6. Beer Recommendation: Just about any cool lager will do this lobster justice, but if you really want a treat, try a crisp hard cider.
  7. Comments: A decadent foray into the sweet and zesty, this lobster recipe is excellent for parties.
  8. Madras curry pwdr is a sweeter blend than standard curry pwdr, sometimes available in the spice section of the grocery store. If you cannot find Madras curry pwdr at your local grocer's, add in a healthy pinch of sugar with the regular curry pwdr.
