I don’t like to cook, in general. I will grill occasionally, though and I’m always up for new grill ideas. I entered partially uncharted territory, for me, last night. The local Sprouts market had small lobster tails on sale for $6.00 each, and fresh corn in the husk at 5/$1.00. Add a loaf of crusty French bread for a couple of dollars and for under 20 bucks I can do a lobster dinner for 3 people. The uncharted part? I decided to grill the lobster. Google being my friend, I looked up approximate cooking times and heat settings. Turns out that lobster tail and corn both like medium high heat - bonus! I sliced open the top of the shell, crammed in olive oil/butter spread and lemon juice and put those babies right on the lower grill grate. The corn got husked, brushed with a mixture of chile infused olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder and fresh black pepper, wrapped in foil and placed on the top grate. The bread went into the oven. The flavors were fantastic! Next time I’ll cut back the cooking time a minute or 2 on the lobster, as it was just a bit tough, but for a first effort I was pleased. What neat stuff are you grilling? --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/whatcha-grillin/763019)._
