    Football Sunday Starts Again Now With Great Tailgate Lobster Recipe

    Football sunday starts again now and fresh lobster tails on the grill are perfect for football Sunday whether the guys are over or you’re tailgating at the game.  Here are some tips for cooking Maine lobster tails on a gas grill.

    While preparing tails is easy, cooking lobster tails on the grill requires careful attention to timing and movement. Cooking over the dry heat of a gas grill can dry the lobster meat out or cause it to cook it unevenly. Lobster tails on the grill should be rotated on the grill to make sure the tail meat cooks evenly. And the tails should be turned only once. Start cooking the lobster tail with the flesh side down. Then for the last three minutes flip the lobster onto the shell side.
