Looks delicious! Shrimp on the grill is my nemesis. They always turn out overdone.
That how to take care of the grill, fk my sister in law she want me to wash it when I visit for bbq stupid Karen.
lobster tails not worth the price whole Main lobsters better price and can do all frozen lobster tails do plus more meat
I’m gonna try Lobster Tail Recipe next time I grill later this week… and yes. 6 Oz filet mignons too. Happy grilling.
Interesting to halve the lobster tails, I'll have to try that sometime. As for the recipe, I don't know, we'll see. Not a fan of panko and it looked like way too much garlic
Lobster is overrated
😋 I don’t know how you knew we had been talking about lobster tails on the grill… And this looks like a great recipe!
Easy peasy! I love lobster but have never cooked it at home because I don't know how it'll turn out. But now I think I got it. Fresh or frozen will be up to me, and I'm definitely going to invest in a pair of poultry shears.
Please where can I find the butter pot?
Camera work SUCKS!
After you cut them in half, is there a reason you left all the little feet on.? 🤷🏻♀️
Is it for making the final presentation more rustic.? Natural.?
Those lobstah tails look great, Julia! I could eat that entire tray (but not the tray itself) 😊
In my opinion, that was WAY too much garlic. You won’t even taste the lobster meat. Why spend all that money just to taste garlic.
That looks really yummy. You can come over to my house anytime you want and we can make up a batch sweet.
Ya lost me at frozen. 😅
What knife is that? The link for chef knife doesn't match hers?
My mouth is watering😂 definitely going to try this
I love the devious laugh knowing she's got some good food in front of her
Please demonstrate safe food handling with food gloves. Teach the next cooks properly.
Cheers from Sweden 👋🏻😊
Ooh, they really treating us with these 'Julia at Home' episodes ❤
What is the pot Julia uses for the butter?
You make it look so easy so enjoyable. Thanks
I want that butter melting pot!
❤❤❤
Why cut them in half? Just grill them the way they are.
Wondering why this method hasn't been tried before ? Other meats, butter and sauces are mixed up – and then syringed into the poultry etc. Why not make the garlic-butter and herbs sauce, and put into a syringe. Cut down the lobster shell and syringe the sauce into the lobster meat – and leave as such. If one cuts the lobster tail completely in half, then also syringe in the sauce into the tail meat. Cook the tails, and allow the sauce to penetrate into all the cracks of the tail meat. No longer basting the sauce into the final cooked lobster tail meat.
Go figure ! In colonial days, when they had slaves … and free indentured 7 year white "employees", the northeastern region would feed their workers crabs and lobsters … until they were literally complaining and getting sick with too much sea meats … and asked for land meats of the livestock and poultry (cows, pigs, chickens, ducks, geese, …). Now we are eating (at high prices) all of these considered colonial trash foods ….
As a fan of Leon, the Lobster, I’ll have to skip this one. 😊 🙏
If your lobster intestine has nothing in it, that means the animal was starved.
Can’t grill where we live.
I've never eaten a bug that big before.

As always, respect for Julia's mad knife skills! Great recipe. I had always been a bit intimidated by frozen lobster tails.
I love you, Julia! Let's get together soon and do some "cooking"!
Hello from Vancouver British Columbia. Amazing dish simple but looks Delicious 🤤
Julia is amazing! Sincerely appreciate her tutorials. ❤
ack! when you cut the tails with the scissors it made them look like they were flinching in pain eek
do you purposely leave the frilly undershell segments attached? i guess if you're cutting down the middle that part is completely exposed anyway..
