Sriracha Butter Lobster Tails Recipe

Seafood is so delicious, but is it too difficult to cook while RVing? You definitely need to try this Sriracha Butter Lobster Tail recipe next time you Go RVing.

The answer: No. Seafood is easy to cook while RVing. But you do have to choose something easy the first time you venture out. Lobster tails might be a good place to start.

Lobster tails are one of my favorites to cook over fire. I love to grill them, smoke them and one day I will cook them right on the coals! They usually are lightly covered in seasoning and lathered in a butter sauce. Adding that sriracha to the butter sauce will really spike the flavor to a new level. Get some heat from the sriracha and tang from the garlic for a dynamic duo of flavor.

For my Sriracha Butter Lobster Tails, I split them in half in order to lay them flat. You could easily butterfly them and cook indirectly, but I chose not to since I wanted to make them over a campfire.

Lobster does not take a long time to cook; however, it does take longer than shrimp and scallops. Once it is on the grill, you have 5-7 minutes before they are done. So, be ready with all your gear nearby so you do not overcook them.

In the end, it is a perfect flavor for cooking outside right next to your RV.
