Here's one: Grilled Lobster Tail Serves 4 2 cloves garlic, chopped 1 teaspoon coriander seeds 1 teaspoon chopped fresh ginger 1/8 teaspoon turmeric 1/8 teaspoon black pepper 4 whole lobster tails (about 4 ounces each) � cup dry white wine Place garlic, coriander, ginger, turmeric, and black pepper in a mortar, and using the pestle, crush the spices until the mixture forms a paste; reserve. Using a sharp knife and kitchen scissors (to cut through the tough shell), cut the lobster tails in half lengthwise. Rub the reserved spice paste over the cut surfaces of the lobster tails. Place tails, cut-side-up, on a tray, cover with plastic wrap, and let sit at room temperature for 10 minutes (or up to 4 hours in the refrigerator). Preheat grill on medium-high heat. To grill lobster tails, first spray the cut sides lightly with vegetable oil spray. Place the tails, cut-side-down, on the grill. Grill for 5 minutes over medium-high heat. Turn tails over and sprinkle the surface with white wine. Close the lid (on an outdoor grill) or cover (a stove-top grill) with a lid or foil and cook for an additional 5 minutes, or until lobster meat is opaque. Serve warm or chilled. Notes: Marron is an Australian freshwater crustacean, similar to small lobsters. There is much Asian influence in Australia, and this marron recipe, prepared "on the barbie," reflects Asian flavors.
