Grilled Lobster Tails with Tarragon-Lemon Vinaigrette

Lobster TailThis is a great date night recipe if you want to impress your woman because it is quick, classy and involves using a grill (which I’m told most men enjoy doing). It’s fast because, once you do the prep work, cooking the lobster only takes a few minutes and it’s classy because it’s not hamburgers. This recipe is for 4 lobster tails, so if you are cooking for more than 4 people, make sure to prepare enough vinaigrette for the extras. If you are cooking for 2, you might have a little extra vinaigrette. If you want to see the original recipe, you can find it here.

Ingredients

4 (6 to 8-ounce) frozen lobster tails
2 plum tomatoes (about 3/4 cup chopped)
1/4 cup plus 1 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
1 1/2 Tbsp. lemon juice
3/4 tsp. finely grated lemon zest
1 1/2 tsp. fresh tarragon leaves
1 tsp. fresh chives
1/4 tsp. salt
