This recipe is absolutely fantastic. I would not change anything. Spices were perfect.

WoW!!! I just had a Christmas party last night and it was a HIT! Fantastic taste. It’s even better the next day. Don’t let this one pass you by. I gave the recipe to a girlfriend to make and she told me that she added a bit more heat to take away the sweetness. It was excellent.

AMAZING! A hit with my girlfriends. I served it as an appetizer for a girls-night-out pre-party. I subsituted crab for the lobster, added mango (this is a key addition and made it really YUM!, and did not use the watercress leaves because I couldn’t find any. I can’t wait to make again, seems super healthy too :

INCREDIBLE…Beware, this could get addictive! But, as usual, FoodNetwork does not proof-read recipes before putting them on the website. Mark this recipe with “Add lemon juice to dressing, to taste.” I used one, 8oz tail for 2 servings and didn’t think it was enough so I added 4, jumbo size shrimp that I grilled along with the tail. Definitely add the watercress and cilantro. I also added some sweet, pickled red peppers. Great flavor and texture to this dish. Elegant, company fare.

Altough this dish was tasty, I felt that the dressing overpowered the star of the dish, the lobster, to such a degree that it was completely lost. I probably won’t try this one again, but if I did, I’d scale back on the horseradish quite a bit. Use arugula instead of watercress. It was nice. Bobby added lime juide (so did I) on the show. Without it, I can’t imagine how strong this dressing would have been.

Love this. Great combination of tastes. I read the review regarding the watercress and I agree. I too watched the video because it was a recipe from a grill show but nowhere in the recipe did it talk about grilling the lobster–it just says to par boil it! I par boiled it for just a few seconds then grilled it just to get light grill marks and it turned out perfect. Food Network needs a proof-reader!

Amazingly Tasty ! I also chilled the martini glasses. I found a set of 6 that were really thick glass. (safer)

I made this after watching the “Grill It” show. I remembered that on the show . Bobby added watercress, so I did, too. The peppery watercress taste is essential. Now that I printed the recipe, I noticed that Bobby has the same recipe from a “Boy Meets Grill” show, and that recipe does call for 1/4 cup of watercress. Great taste and looks beautiful as well.

i made it today. didn’t have time to grill it. i just parboiled and then stuck the lobster on a cast iron skillet for a minute. SO GOOD. i want to make it for every party i go to or have at my house. a definite crowd-pleaser and EASY!
