"My wife and I treated ourselves to these grilled lobster tails this last weekend. She made me grill them, which I was a little nervous about but they turned out great. Wished we could afford to have them more often."

"You don't need to do much to lobster to make them melt in your mouth. That's why this recipe is such a hit, with only 3 ingredients. The grill adds just the right hint of smokiness. I will be making these again rather than boiling my tails."

"This was quick and was a nice touch to impress the guests. I wasn't sure about how to prepare lobster, especially on the grill, but this worked great and it really was simple. Very tasty."

"i have made this recipe 3 times now, and each time I get rave reviews. It is simple and tastes as good as anything you might get at a pricey restaurant. Because one of my family members is lactose intolerant, I substitute a non-dairy margarine for the butter in the baste and this has worked well. I highly recommend this simple - yet tasty - recipe"

"I like this recipe because it is quick and easy to make. We enjoy having a few friends over to grill out in the summer and I like to treat them to lobster tail at least once. This recipe is perfect because we can put the tails on the grill, serve a cocktail, and by the time we finish our drinks they are ready to eat!"
