Lemon-Herb Grilled Lobster Tails
This Lemon-Herb Grilled Lobster Tails recipe is a lighter version of grilled lobster. Believe it or not, lobster can actually be adopted into a healthy diet. With that said, if you want to replace the olive oil called for in this recipe with butter, be my guest! Remember to purchase large tails for this dish.
