Ingredients

Instructions

  • Using scissors, cut the top of the lobster shell lengthways down the center, leaving the tail fin intact.  Loosen tail meat from the shell, keeping the fin end attached.  Lift the tail meat and lay atop of the shell.  With a knife, cut tail down the middle to de-vein the tail.  Place lobster tails, meat side up, on a baking sheet and set aside.
  • In a small pot, combine butter, garlic, and Slap Ya Mama White Pepper Blend Seasoning.  Heat over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the butter is melted and ingredients are combined.  Generously spoon mixture over lobster tails and let the juices run into the bottom of the baking sheet.  This helps to keep things moist while cooking.
  • Heat grill to medium heat, place baking sheet on grill and grill for about 10 minutes or until meat is opaque.  Serve and enjoy!!

Slap Ya Mama Ribeye Steaks with Cajun Butter

Slap Ya Mama Ribeye Steaks with Cajun Butter

Slap Ya Mama Ribeye Steaks with Cajun Butter

By Chris Grove at Nibble Me This

I’m a big believer in the fact that quality beef doesn’t need much more than salt, pepper, and a bit of fire to make a brilliantly tasty steak. But I’m also a believer in the truth that sometimes you have to shake things up a bit. These Ribeye Steaks with Cajun Butter fall into the latter category.

CAJUN BUTTER FOR STEAKS

Ingredients

  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 teaspoon finely diced green onion
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/8 teaspoon white pepper
  • 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Butter Instructions

  1. Mix ingredients together with a fork or masher.
  2. Form into a log or scoop into 1″ balls.
  3. Place on steaks immediately upon removing from heat.

Steak Instructions

I patted the steaks dry with a paper towel.  Then I lightly oiled them with some canola oil and seasoned them with Slap Ya Mama Cajun Seasoning. As soon as the steaks come off of the grill, I immediately crown them with a scoop or two of the Cajun butter. Next as a side, I fire roasted some potatoes on my Grilla Grills pellet cooker. Lastly, I stuffed them with shredded cheese, butter, sour cream, chives, and some of our homemade bacon.

Man, oh man, were these steaks great.  They were boldly seasoned, had a delicious crust, and the butter just amplifies the flavor.
