Steps:
- Make the butter by mixing together all the ingredients, then season and set aside. Can be made two days ahead. Remove from the fridge to soften before using.
- Use kitchen scissors to cut along the tops of the lobster shells, then flip the tails over and crack the ribs of the shell. Use your fingers to open the shell and loosen the meat keeping it attached at the base and pull it half out. Use a knife to cut along the top of the tail without cutting all the way through and remove the vein if you see one. Sit the tail in a shallow roasting tray and add some butter to each one. Tails can be prepared a few hours ahead and chilled.
- Heat the grill to high, then grill the lobster tails for 10 mins until cooked through. Put them on plates and drizzle with the butter from the pan, or pour the butter into a ramekin and put it in the middle of the table for dipping the lobster meat in. Serve with lemon wedges and scatter with extra parsley, if you like.

BEST GRILLED TROPICAL CITRUS LOBSTER TAILS
Very easy grilled lobster tails. Keeping with the tropical theme, I love to serve this with my Recipe #407263 and grilled zucchini planks for a light healthy dinner. The grilled lobster is the star so I like to add dishes that will compliment the lobster and it's flavors. This is orange based butter vs lemon based, but equally as good.

Steps:
- Lobster -- Take each tail, flesh side up and cut down the center of the tail. DO NOT cut all the way through the shell, you just want to cut the meat, so the good butter sauce can get all the way into the meat.
- Butter -- Simply mix the butter, orange lime and pineapple juice, orange and lime zest, shallot, honey, garlic and cilantro. If you want you can use a small food processor to do this, but I just mix it by hand. Transfer to a small bowl and set to the side. You will need to melt this to brush on the lobsters. I just melt mine in the microwave - 10-15 seconds is all you need.
- Grilling -- I start with the tails wrapped in a foil pouch so they don't dry out too much. Just add each tail to a piece of foil, shell side down, and butter the flesh side well. Wrap up each tail and put on the grill. I cook around 5-8 minutes (depends on the size of the tail) and then open up the foil pouch, remove the tail and finish on the grill. Brush again with the butter and put flesh side down on the grill. Cook 2 minutes, flip and finish cooking shell side down. When you flip the lobster, make sure to brush with the butter again. Cook another couple of minutes. You want the flesh opaque, firm to the touch and the shell red in color.
- Serve -- Serve a little extra butter on the side if you want. The lobster meat will pull right out of the shell. ENJOY!
