5 ounce fresh or frozen lobster tails - 4
One teaspoon lemon peel (finely shredded)

Follow the steps and prepare the lobster tails with chive and butter :
If you find that the lobster is frostbitten , it should be thawed first. Then the lobster tails need to be washed and dried using napkins made of paper. The next step is to cut the tails lengthwise from the center of the hard top shells and meat, and not through the bottom of the shells. Now, press apart the two halves of the shell of lobster tails with fingers.
To prepare sauce, heat and melt the butter in a pan. Take the pan away from heat and add some chive and peel of lemon and stir it nicely. Now, you can keep the remaining sauce aside once you remove two tablespoons of the sauce.
The third step is to cover the oven of the grill of the gas and heat it. Now you can reduce the heat of the grill to medium.
Brush a portion of the two tablespoons sauce over the meat of lobster and then placed on the gas grill directly over heat. Mask it with a lid and grill for about six minutes. Now turn lobster and brush the remaining two tablespoons sauce on it. Then cover it again and grill for another six to eight minutes, till the lobster meat turns opaque.
Heat the condiment that is kept aside and stir it occasionally. Serve the lobster tails with the sauce as dipping.
