This is a fantastic, low carb treat. Different and delicious with only 2 grams of net carbs per tail. It is very simple to make, even for a beginner, yet sure to impress. Great for people who are not low carbing as well! Adapted from the Atkins Calendar.

Yummy! This is so simple and very good. I love fresh tarragon and ginger so this was right up my alley. I loved step 3 and had fun relieving the stress of the day. Thanks Leslie for a great meal. Made for ZWT5 2009.

Great simple recipe! I was feeling a little lazy so rather than use a saucepan mixed the butter and other ingredients in a cup and gave it 20 seconds in the microwave. That was just enough to melt the butter after which I mixed well and gave it time to infuse. I was using frozen lobster tails out of their shell so used about half the butter which made the mixture stick a little better, and just used a slightly reduced cooking time on the grill. I had along Garlic mushrooms with grilled aspagarus, cherry tomatoes, eggplant, squash and capsicum and found it all most enjoyable!
