Lobster Tails

Hi All
Local Coles had frozen lobster tails, 2 tails, 320 gms , $20 including garlic butter. $62.50 /kg. From “imported and local ingredients”. See pic.
Never cooked lobster, only eaten it once or twice, thought I’d give it a go.
Box had recipe for grilling and pan fry, checked the internet, including this blog for BBQ, still confused. These are small lobsters and internet cooking times varied quite a bit, 5 to 20 mins. It would be easy to overcook. Many said split lobster in half, which must effect cooking time. Went with Margaret Fulton.
I split them and aimed for 1 min on flesh side, baste, 4 mins on shell. Weber gas BBQ.
Side dish, boiled asparagus with butter, pepper and Parmigano. Hunter Semillon naturally.
Tasted good, nice smokey flavour? Probably a bit unevenly cooked, the splitting wasn’t exact and I suspect that should have evened out the flesh and shell side times a bit.
A qualified success?
