Do you need to parboil lobster tails before grill them?

Here's why:

* Grilling time: Lobster tails cook relatively quickly on the grill. Parboiling them would make them too soft and mushy by the time they hit the grill.

* Flavor: Parboiling can leach flavor from the lobster.

* Convenience: Grilling directly from frozen or raw is much more convenient, as you don't have to worry about an extra step.

However, there are a few exceptions:

* Extra large lobster tails: Larger tails may benefit from a quick blanch to prevent them from being too raw in the middle.

* Preference: Some people prefer the texture of parboiled lobster tails.

If you decide to parboil:

* Use salted boiling water.

* Cook for 2-3 minutes, just until the flesh turns opaque.

* Immediately shock in ice water to stop the cooking process.

Grilling Lobster Tails:

* Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

* Brush the tails with melted butter, olive oil, or your favorite marinade.

* Grill for 6-8 minutes per side, or until the flesh is cooked through and the shell is bright red.

* Serve immediately.

Enjoy!
