  3. Rinse and clean the asparagus. Go for thick spears instead of skinny ones. Brush with oil, salt, and pepper. Place on grill for a few minutes, until lightly charred. Use a gridiron for best results.
  4. Divide lobster tail lengthwise with a sharp knife. Remove intestines and stomach.
  5. Spread some tarragon butter on the lobster meat. Place the lobster on the grill flesh side down. Grill for 2-3 minutes if raw or 30 seconds if pre-cooked. It's ready when the lobster meat is white, grilling time depends on the size and grill type.
  6. Serve with parmesan, a dollop of tarragon butter, and asparagus.

    Where are the carbs coming from in this recipe? I've searched each ingredient and cannot find more than a couple carbs from the asparagus.
