quick and easy meals for 1 or 2

Grilled lobster tails

This is great, classy and easy.

If you don’t have a stove top grill a frying pan with a little oil will work in a pinch or they can be done in the oven at 450 dgrees. A little stove top grill is a good investment.

You can serve any kind of carb and veggie you feel like multi tasking while the lobster grills. Of course we like pasta aglia e olio and salad.



Juice from ½ lemon
1/2 cup olive oil
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. paprika
dash of pepper
2 dashes garlic powder
2 (10 ounce) lobster tails

Preheat grill for high heat.
Squeeze lemon juice into a small bowl, and whisk in olive oil. salt, paprika, pepper, and garlic powder. Split lobster tails lengthwise with a large knife, and brush flesh side of tail with marinade.
Lightly oil grill (or frying pan). Place tails, flesh side down, on grill. Cook for 10 to 12 minutes, turning once, and basting frequently with marinade. Lobster is done when flesh is opaque and firm to the touch. Throw away any remaining marinade.

SERVE IT UP!!! With some good crusty bread, lemon wedges and some white wine!!
