STEP
-
1 Using kitchen shears, cut a slit down the center of the hard shell of each lobster tail down to the tail fan. Scoop around the shell and gently loosen the meat from the shell a little bit.
-
2 In a small bowl melt the butter and mix with the Old Bay Seasoning and the 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice.
-
3 When ready to cook, start the Traeger on 185 F. Preheat, lid closed, for 10-15 minutes.
-
4 Place the lobster tails directly on the grill grate and pour some of the seasoned butter into the cracked shell of each lobster. Smoke the lobster tails for about 1 1/2 hours, or until the internal temperature registers 135 to 140 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer and the meat turns opaque.
-
5 Meanwhile make the mayo sauce for the lobster by mixing together the mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, diced celery, chopped parsley, green onion, salt and pepper.
-
6 After removing lobsters from the grill, allow to rest for 5 minutes before removing the meat from the shells and cutting into chunks.
-
7 Add the lobster meat into the mayo mix and gently toss.
-
8 Butter and toast the rolls on the Traeger, if desired, and load up with the lobster mayo mix. Enjoy!
