Ingredients

Serves 6

  • 6 uncooked medium lobster tails (2.5kg)
  • 1/2 cup (80ml) olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons finely grated lime rind
  • 1/2 cup (125ml) lime juice
  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 2 tablespoons each coarsely chopped fresh coriander and flat-leaf parsley
  • 6 limes, cut into wedges

Method

  1. Step 01

    Remove and discard the soft shell from underneath the lobster tails so the flesh is exposed.

  2. Step 02

    Combine the oil, rind, juice, garlic and herbs in a large bowl. Add the lobster, season, cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.

  3. Step 03

    Drain the lobster and reserve the marinade.

  4. Step 04

    Cook on a heated, oiled barbecue until browned all over and just cooked through, brushing now and then with the reserved marinade. Serve with the lime wedges.
