chiefcharlie's Review:
"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!"
