BROILED LOBSTER TAILS: Daily Diabetic Recipe

BROILED LOBSTER TAILS

Yield: 2 servings
Source: "The New Family Cookbook for People With Diabetes"

INGREDIENTS
- 2 lobster tails (about 1 pound total)
- 2 teaspoons margarine, melted
- 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons chopped shallots, or 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon dried bread crumbs
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme, or 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
- 1 small clove garlic, minced
- 1 small lemon, cut in wedges

DIRECTIONS
Preheat the broiler.

With kitchen shears, cut the top membrane from each lobster tail
and discard. Place the tails, shell side up, on the broiler pan.

Broil for 8 minutes about 5 inches from the heat source. Turn
the tails over and brush with melted margarine and 1 teaspoon
of the lemon juice. Broil 4 to 5 minutes longer, or until the
lobster meat is opaque.

While the lobster is broiling, prepare the topping. In a small
non-stick skillet, saute the shallots in olive oil until soft.
Stir in the bread crumbs and the remaining 1 teaspoon lemon
juice. Cook until the crumbs are lightly browned.

Place the topping on the lobster tails; broil
for 30 seconds. Serve with lemon wedges.
