Yields4 Servings
Prep Time10 minsCook Time1 hr 30 mins

 4 Lobsters or Lobster Tails (1-1 1/2 of Lobster Meat)
 2 tbsp Melted Butter
 ¼ tsp Old Bay Seasoning
 ½ tsp Fresh Lemon Juice
 ¼ cup Mayonnaise
 1 tbsp Lemon Juice
 1 tbsp Fresh Parsley
 1 Green Onion, diced
 1 Inner Celery Stalk, finely chopped
 4 Rolls, spilt in half
 Salt and Pepper, to taste

1

Using kitchen shears, cut a slit down the center of the hard shell of each lobster tail down to the tail fan. Scoop around the shell and gently loosen the meat from the shell a little bit.

2

In a small bowl melt the butter and mix with the Old Bay Seasoning and the 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice.

3

When ready to cook, start the Traeger on Smoke with the lid open until a fire is established (4-5 minutes).

4

Place the lobster tails directly on the grill grate and pour some of the seasoned butter into the cracked shell of each lobster. Smoke the lobster tails for about 1 1/2 hours, or until the internal temperature registers 135 to 140 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer and the meat turns opaque.

5

Meanwhile make the mayo sauce for the lobster by mixing together the mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, diced celery, chopped parsley, green onion, salt and pepper.

6

After removing lobsters from the grill, allow to rest for 5 minutes before removing the meat from the shells and cutting into chunks.

7

Add the lobster meat into the mayo mix and gently toss.

8

Butter and toast the rolls on the Traeger, if desired, and load up with the lobster mayo mix. Enjoy!
