6-8 Lobster Tails
Zest of 3 Lemons
8 Ounces, Olive Oil
3 Ounces, Cajun Seasoning
6-8 Teaspoons Butter
Salt & Pepper to taste
Begin by cutting the lobster tails in half down the middle, but not ensuring to not cut all the way through, keeping the tail as one piece. Then fold each tail open so that the flesh is exposed. Season with olive oil, lemon zest, Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper. Then grill flesh side down, cross hatching the flesh. Turn over and lower the heat, adding a teaspoon of butter to each lobster.

1 Head Romaine Lettuce, julienne
