Lobster Recipes: Smoked Lobster Tails (+ More Tasty Dishes To Make!)

🧂 Ingredients

• 2 lobster tails
• 1 ½ tablespoon butter
• 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
• fresh parsley

  (chopped, optional for garnish)

Instructions

• 1 Preheat your smoker to 225°F (105°C). Meanwhile, butterfly your lobster tails by
  using kitchen shears to cut down the middle of the top of the shell. Cut
  carefully all the way to the end of the tail and stop (be sure not to cut the
  meat underneath).
• 2 Gently devein the tail and remove any grit or dirt if necessary. Flip the tail
  over and press gently on the ribs (the underside of the shell). Flip it back
  cut-side-up and use your fingers to gently separate the meat from the shell all
  the way down to the end of the tail, leaving just the very end attached.
• 3 Lift the meat up and out of the shell (tail still attached) and pinch the shell
  closed underneath so the meat can rest on top of it. Repeat with each lobster
  tail.
• 4 Once your smoker has preheated, place the lobster tails on the grate
  meat-side-up in a spot that is over indirect heat or as far from heat as
  possible.
• 5 Close the door and smoke until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C),
  about 1 hour.
• 6 Just before your lobster is done smoking, melt the butter in a small
  microwave-safe dish and stir in the Cajun seasoning. Remove the smoked lobster
  tails from the smoker and brush the Cajun butter over the meat. Garnish with
  fresh parsley if desired and serve immediately.
