How to Make Chili Mustard Butter

  1. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat.
  2. Add the chili powder, mustard powder, garlic powder, and salt. Stir until well combined and the butter is melted completely.
  3. Keep the mixture warm over very low heat or remove from heat to prevent burning.
  4. Butterfly your lobster tails by cutting lengthwise through the top shell and meat, being careful not to cut through the bottom shell. Gently press the halves open.
  5. Brush the lobster tails generously with the chili mustard butter before placing them on a preheated grill.
  6. Grill the lobster tails for 3-4 minutes per side, or until cooked through and slightly charred, basting occasionally with the remaining butter.
  7. Serve immediately with the remaining chili mustard butter as a dipping sauce.
