Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup thinly sliced green onions
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped shallots
  • 2 tablespoons diced yellow bell pepper
  • 2 tablespoons diced orange bell pepper
  • 2 tablespoons diced red bell pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon red wine vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons butter, softened
  • 1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
  • 2 small garlic cloves, minced
  • 4 (6-ounce) lobster tails in shells
  • Cooking spray
  • 4 cups watercress, trimmed

Method

  • Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
  • Combine first 5 ingredients; sprinkle with black pepper, salt, and sugar. Drizzle vinegar and oil over bell pepper mixture, and toss.
  • Combine butter, thyme, and garlic, stirring until well blended. Arrange lobster tails, back sides up, on a cutting board. Carefully cut shells lengthwise, cutting to, but not through, the middle of the meat. Open halves. Arrange tails, cut sides down, on a grill rack coated with cooking spray. Grill 2 minutes. Turn tails over; divide butter mixture evenly among lobster tails, spreading evenly over flesh. Grill 2 minutes or until desired degree of doneness.
  • Arrange 1 cup watercress on each of 4 plates; top each serving with 1 lobster tail and about 2 tablespoons relish.
