7. Continue grilling for another 4-5 minutes, or until the lobster meat is opaque and firm to the touch.
8. Brush the lobster tails with more glaze during the last few minutes of cooking.
9. The lobster tails should be taken from the grill and given some time to rest.
10. Serve the recipe with Scotch Bonnet–Honey Glaze hot, garnished with lime wedges and fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro if desired.

This dish pairs well with steamed rice, grilled vegetables, or a fresh salad. The spicy and sweet flavors of the Scotch Bonnet–Honey Glaze complement the succulent lobster meat, creating a memorable seafood experience.

Note: Adjust the amount of Scotch bonnet peppers used in the glaze according to your spice preference. Scotch bonnet peppers are known for their heat, so use caution when handling and adjust the quantity to suit your taste.
