Instructions
- For the grilled guacamole, preheat a grill to medium-high
heat, and lay avocado halves over the hot grate. Cover and grill for about 5
minutes until the flesh is lightly charred. Flip all the halves over, and grill
for another 5 minutes. Transfer the grilled avocado to a serving bowl and mash
with a fork to your desired level of chunkiness. Add remaining ingredients to the bowl and stir to combine. Set aside until ready to use. - For the lobster tails, preheat the broiler. Split the
lobster tails by cutting through the center of the hard-top shells and meat.
Spread the halves of the split lobster tails apart, and place the lobster
tails, meat side up, on the unheated rack of a broiler pan. Brush the tails
with melted butter, and broil 4 inches from the heat source for 12-14 minutes,
or until the lobster meat is opaque. Gently remove the lobster meat from the
shell. - Toast the bread, and spread 4 slices of bread with your
desired amount of grilled guacamole. Top the guacamole with sliced tomatoes,
butter lettuce, lobster meat and bacon and serve.
