I just made these lobster tails with the Lime Basil butter. I followed your recipe and the result
was FANTASTIC! My wife loved the combination of flavors with the lobster AND she spent her
summers in Maine (@ Robin Hood Island on the road to Five Islands!) I am from New York City
and am slowly learning the secrets of grilling. This recipe was EASY-STREET and sooo successful. My wife is now out walking the dog, but she gave me the romantic smile as she
went out the door that I only get when I have created a great meal. Thank you!
