Grilled Lobster Tails

Ingredients

• 6 lobster tails (8-10 oz each)
• 1 c. olive oil
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/4 c. fresh chives, minced
• 3/4-1 t. salt
• 3/4 t. pepper

Steps

1. With scissors, make 3 to 4 lengthwise slits in the tail's underside to loosen the shell slightly, leaving the tail fin intact. At the fin's base, cut the shell on an angle away from the tail's centre. Loosen the meat while keeping its fin end attached, then lift and lay it over the shell.
2. Combine the remaining ingredients in a small bowl and spoon over the lobster meat. Cover and refrigerate for 20 minutes.
3. Set the tails on the grill rack with meat facing up. Grill covered over medium heat for 10-12 minutes or until the meat is opaque.
