how long to bbq lobster
2Grilling lobster tails. Once the grill is hot, give the lobster tails one last baste, add a bit of salt and pepper and place them flesh side down on the hot grill. Be careful of flare-ups from the dripping butter. Cook flesh side down for 4 to 5 minutes until light grill marks show. Flip the lobster tails to shell side down. Baste with the butter mixture several times during the next 3 to 6 minutes until the lobster meat is firm and opaque. 1Finally.... Tie on your lobster bibs, heat some butter, and dig in. 2Or, better yet, add a few filets to the grill, and you have a beautiful Surf and Turf.
