-
Squeeze a little lemon over each tail.
-
Grill 10 - 12 minutes or until the shell has turned bright red and the meat is no longer transparent. you want to undercook the lobster just slightly since it will continue to cook with the mac and cheese.

Make sure not to overcook the lobster - it will get tough.

When cooked completely let cool.

Remove meat from shell and cut small bite size pieces and set aside

-
Begin adding cheeses a little at a time, thoroughly whisking to melt and blend.
-
If sauce becomes too thick, add remaining cup of milk.
-

-
Add cooked grilled lobster and stir again.
-
Once combined well, add to a cast iron skillet or 9 by 13-inch rectangle casserole dish, (either should be sprayed with coconut oil to prevent sticking)
