Hello, your website is awesome with great knowledge of Italian cooking! So, I assume you actually ARE Italian, judging from some of the grammar. I just thought you should know that what you call "lobster tails" are actually just shrimp or prawns. Just thought you might like to know.

We really enjoyed the grilled lobster cooked by my Mom. She served it with a ruby red grapefruit and a tarragon vinaigrette and it tastes really good. I couldn't count how many lobster tails I ate.

That's an easy-to-do delectable dish. I personally like prawns and would devour it as it lands on the table (but I still do observe table etiquette).
