Smoked Lobster Tail Recipe
This Smoked Lobster Tail Recipe combines the natural sweetness of lobster with the irresistible smoky flavor imparted by the smoking process.
Ingredients
- 4 lobster tails (6-8 ounces each)
- 1 tablespoon All-purpose barbecue rub
- 3 tablespoon Salted butter
- 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
Instructions
- The smoker should be preheated to 250 degrees when you are ready to cook.
- Pull the meat from your lobster tails by butterflying them.
- Rub your all-purpose BBQ rub on the lobster meat with salt and pepper.
- Make sure the meat side of the lobster is facing upward when you place it directly on the grates of your smoker.
- Lemon juice, garlic powder, and butter should be combined in a small pot or pan.
- Put the pot alongside the lobster on the smoker. Once you have melted the butter, you should have a simple butter sauce to bast the meat with.
- The butter sauce should be basted every 10-15 minutes on the lobster.
- Cook lobsters for 45 minutes. Once they reach 145°F internal temperature, remove them from the smoker. A squeeze of lemon juice and the remaining butter sauce should accompany it.
