1. Grilled Lobster Tail

A Simple Grilled Lobster Tail Recipe

I know what you’re thinking… “Rosie, FRUGAL Rosie, buys lobster?!” Yes, but only when it’s on sale! My son and I are seafood junkies (my poor husband is allergic to seafood), so whenever I see a good deal on lobster, I jump on it. My local grocery store actual sold each lobster tail for $4.98, so I bought a few, and decided to show you show to grill them!

Although this recipe is SUPER easy, I wanted to share it with you because there are plenty of you that may not know how to cook/grill lobster tails.

I think that lobster tails are perfect to serve for a dinner for two (try grilling your own lobster instead of going out and spending $50). To make this the perfect date night meal, try serving the lobster with a nice green salad, a loaded baked potato, and sweet peach iced tea!
