Tailgating with Lobster Tails!

Tailgating is a great American past time that often involves grilling one's food in the parking lot just before the game. I've been to a few, and more often than not, because I live in the mid Atlantic region, those parking lots are freezing! (one time there was snow, and lots of it!)

Now, that's not to say tailgating in cold weather isn't fun, it certainly is, but it does means whatever cooking-at least in my opinion-has to be hot!

I suggest tailgating with grilled lobster tails for a few minutes per side. You'll need a plate, fork, and knife, but that's nothing compared to all equipment you've probably hauled for the party! Keep it simple and serve the lobster tail with melted butter and make sure to give everyone their own for dipping.

However, if you are a hardcore tailgater that doesn't believe a knife or fork belong, that's ok. Just remove the lobster meat from the tail while you are still at home and then skewer it through with a strong metal skewer. Grill it for a few minutes per side until the meat turns opaque. Brush it generously with butter for flavor (and if you want add some seasoning, such as chopped herbs)

And for those planning to attend the Superbowl scheduled to be in Tampa, Florida, I still suggest lobster tail! And instead of a fuzzy parka, just remember the sunscreen!
