After tasting this Lobster dish tonight, I can honestly say it was the most satisfying meals that i have prepared in quite some time. The Fresh Rosemary and Thyme go so well melted in a creamy butter over the smokey grilled lobster tail. What is so great about this dish is that you can customize it by making any type of infused butter that you think would go well with the grilled lobster.
