This step ensures a nice sear that brings out the smokiness. Place the lobster tails flesh side down on the hot coals and cook for 2 to 3 minutes while preheating a cast iron saucepan on the coals.
3-Flip the tails to the shell side and cook for 7 to 8 minutes. In the saucepan, mix the chile butter sauce ingredients 2 tablespoons chile spice, 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, ΒΌ cup white tequila, juice of 1 lime, and 1 tablespoon chopped cilantro and let it simmer for 2 minutes.
