Instructions
Preparation

- Split the lobster tails down the middle and gently pull the meat upward but keep it attached at the end.
- Spoon the cheese mixture onto the lobster meat.
Cooking
- Place the lobster tails on the smoker rack and smoke for 30-45 minutes or until the lobster is cooked through and the cheese is bubbly.

Notes
Serve hot to keep the cheese melty and the lobster tender. Cool leftovers quickly and store in an airtight container in the fridge. Consume within 2 days for best texture and flavor. Can freeze cooked lobster but texture may change.
