Step by Step Method
Step 1
Make garlic butter by mixing the butter and garlic together.
Step 2
Line a grill/broiler pan with alfoil.
Step 3
Cut a line down the centre on the top of the crayfish/lobster tail (not the belly side) (scissors are the easiest thing to use to do this job), stopping just before the tail fins.
Step 4
Pull the shell apart leaving it intact and gently pull the lobster meat out, cradling it on top of the now opened shell.
Step 5
Using a sharp knife, made a small slit down the top of the meat and spread it by running your finger through the lobster meat.
Step 6
Fill the crevice with the garlic butter and sprinkle with a little paprika.
Step 7
Grill/broil about 3 to 4 inches from heat for approximately 5 to 6 minutes (it works out about 1 minutes per 30 grams or 1 ounce).
