Brush the butter and lemon mixture over the exposed meat in the tail.
Place the tails on the grill, meat side down.

Flip the tails and cook 3-5 more minutes on the shell side.
The tails will curl when they are done. Remove from the grill and serve with sliced lemon and melted butter for dipping.

"i have made this recipe 3 times now, and each time I get rave reviews. It is simple and tastes as good as anything you might get at a pricey restaurant. Because one of my family members is lactose intolerant, I substitute a non-dairy margarine for the butter in the baste and this has worked well. I highly recommend this simple - yet tasty - recipe"

"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!"
