Lobster tails?

[TimeforMe]

I am considering adding these to my Christmas Eve menu, but am a little unsure as to how to prepare them. Was thinking of maybe just broiling them, but maybe something else? Perhaps in a marinara sauce? Any suggestions?

In my opinion, just broil them and give everyone some melted butter. Lobster tail is so good all by itself...I wouldn't "do" anything to it at all. Your're guests are pretty lucky!

we do them two ways around here: split and grilled, or baked/steamed out of the shell. I prefer the grilled ones. In fact, we had them on Thanksgiving (we had a crazy menu, surf and turf on the grill, and turkey in the oven!)

Here's what we do: make a marinade (we like shallots, lemon juice, garlic, butter or oil and a touch of oregano or other green herb) Split lobster tails lengthwise with a large knife, and brush flesh side of tail with marinade.
Place tails, flesh side down, on preheated grill. Cook for 10 to 12 minutes, (depending on heat level) turning once, and basting with marinade. Lobster is done when opaque and firm to the touch. This is so easy and never fails to impress.

The day after Thanksgiving we made a cream sauce with butter, onions, garlic, tabasco and some Old Bay spices, grated parmesan and then threw in chopped tomato, green onions and the chopped up leftover lobster. Topped it with shredded mozzarella and broiled for a minute or two to melt the cheese then ate this as a dip with toast points. OMG, it was to die for. Would have been awesome on pasta.

the lobsters we catch down here aren't as sweet as Maine lobsters, but they still don't need much. cut the tail in half lengthwise, rub with garlic and butter.

throw on the grill shell side down (that kind of steams them), finish on the flesh side. they don't take long, just a few minutes.
