I can't believe I haven't reviewed this yet! I've been using your recipe for a few years now, and whenever DH asks for lobster tails, this is what he's talking about. I don't have an outdoor grill, so I just de-spine the tails and slice them down the middle so I can flatten them out a bit for more even cooking, and then I grill them on my Cuisinart tabletop grill. They're spicy, but the orange and chipotle is fabulous in this! This is actually what's on the menu for our NYE dinner tonight. Thanks for posting, and sorry for not remembering to post a review until now!
