Ingredients
- 1/4 cup thinly sliced green onions
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped shallots
- 2 tablespoons diced yellow bell pepper
- 2 tablespoons diced orange bell pepper
- 2 tablespoons diced red bell pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon red wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter, softened
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
- 2 small garlic cloves, minced
- 4 (6-ounce) lobster tails in shells
- Cooking spray
- 4 cups watercress, trimmed
Preparation
- 1. Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
- 2. Combine first 5 ingredients; sprinkle with black pepper, salt, and sugar. Drizzle vinegar and oil over bell pepper mixture, and toss.
- 3. Combine butter, thyme, and garlic, stirring until well blended. Arrange lobster tails, back sides up, on a cutting board. Carefully cut shells lengthwise, cutting to, but not through, the middle of the meat. Open halves. Arrange tails, cut sides down, on a grill rack coated with cooking spray. Grill 2 minutes. Turn tails over; divide butter mixture evenly among lobster tails, spreading evenly over flesh. Grill 2 minutes or until desired degree of doneness.
- 4. Arrange 1 cup watercress on each of 4 plates; top each serving with 1 lobster tail and about 2 tablespoons relish.
