Ingredients

• 2-eight ounce lobster tails
• 4 Tablespoons unsalted butter softened
• 1 Tablespoon achar of choice
• 2 Tablespoons finely chopped chives
• fresh lemon wedges

Directions

To “butterfly” lobster tails, cut each lengthwise through the centers of the hard top shells and about half-way through the top of the meat with kitchen shears. Using your fingers, press shell halves of tails apart.
Remove digestive tract (it may already be completely removed or only partially removed).
Insert a metal skewer down the lobster tail so the tail stays straight and doesn’t curl up on the grill.
In a small bowl, stir together butter, achar, and chives until well combined.
Heat grill to medium-high. Spread about 1 tablespoon of prepared achar butter over the meat of each lobster tail. Place tails on the grill, meat side down on the grates, for about 4 to 5 minutes.
The lobster shell should turn bright orange in color. Flip tails over and spoon on another tablespoon of achar butter onto the meat of each tail. Grill for an additional 3 to 4 minutes, or just until lobster meat is opaque.
Remove tails from grill and let sit for a couple minutes before serving. Sprinkle with fresh chives. Serve with fresh lemon wedges for squeezing over the tails.
