Drunken Lobster Tail Skewers Recipe
Ingredients
- 4 lobster tails
- 1/2 cup beer (your choice, like a lager or pale ale)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp Old Bay seasoning (optional)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Skewers (if using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes)
Instructions
- Prepare the Lobster Tails:
- Use kitchen scissors to cut the top shell of each lobster tail lengthwise, stopping just before the tail fin. Gently pull the meat out and lay it on top of the shell.
- Make the Marinade:
- In a bowl, combine the beer, olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, paprika, Old Bay seasoning (if using), salt, and pepper.
- Marinate the Lobster:
- Place the lobster tails in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the lobster, ensuring they are well coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
- Preheat the Grill:
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- Skewer the Lobster:
- Thread each lobster tail onto a skewer, with the meat facing up. This makes it easier to grill and serve.
- Grill the Skewers:
- Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 5-7 minutes, brushing with leftover marinade, until the lobster is opaque and cooked through.
- Serve:
- Remove from the grill and serve with additional lemon wedges and your favorite dipping sauce, if desired.
Enjoy!
