Ingredients

🦞 4 fresh lobster tails
🧈 2 tablespoons butter
🧅 1 small onion finely diced
🫑 1 green bell pepper finely diced
🍤 1 cup small shrimp (popcorn variety) chopped
🍅 1 small tomato optional finely diced
🌶️ A sprinkle of black pepper
🌶️ A sprinkle of paprika
🍖 A sprinkle of Season All
🍞 1 cup Belizean breadcrumbs
🍈 1 lime cut into wedges for garnish and squeezing

Instructions

1- Prepare the Lobster Tails:

• Split the lobster tails lengthwise, carefully removing the intestines without damaging the meat. Set them aside for grilling.

2- Make the Stuffing:

• Melt the butter in a small pot over a Mabe gas stove burner.
• Add the diced onions, bell peppers, and, if using, tomatoes. Sauté until the vegetables are soft.
• Mix in the chopped shrimp and continue to sauté until they are just cooked.
• Season the mixture with black pepper, paprika, and Season All. Stir thoroughly to combine the flavors.
• Incorporate the breadcrumbs into the sautéed mixture, stirring until you achieve a golden-brown, moist stuffing.

3- Grill the Lobster:

• Preheat your grill (use open coals for a smoky flavor) to medium heat.
• Grill the split lobster tails cut-side down until the shells turn a vibrant orange and the flesh is opaque and cooked through.

4- Assemble the Dish:

• Lavishly spoon the shrimp stuffing over the grilled lobster tails.
• Place them back on the grill briefly to warm and meld the flavors.

5- Serve:

• Garnish with lime wedges. Squeeze fresh lime juice over the dish just before serving for an additional burst of flavor.
