Grilled Lobster With Cilantro–Chile Butter
- 4 oz. unsalted butter, softened
- 3 tbsp. minced cilantro
- 4 Fresno or Holland chiles, stemmed,
- seeded, and minced
- 1 lime, zested and quartered
- 2 2-lb. live lobsters
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper,
- to taste
- 1. In a small bowl, stir together butter, cilantro, chiles, and lime zest; set aside. Using a heavy cleaver, split each lobster in half lengthwise through its head and tail. Scoop out and discard the yellow-green innards and cut off the claws. Transfer the lobster halves, shell side down, to a baking sheet; crack the lobster claws and transfer them to the baking sheet. Drizzle lobster halves and claws with oil and season with salt and pepper.
- 2. Build a medium-hot fire in a charcoal grill or heat a gas grill to medium-high. (Alternatively, heat a 12" cast-iron grill pan over medium-high heat.) Place lobster halves (flesh side down) and claws on grill and cook for 5 minutes. Turn over lobster halves and claws and spread each with some of the cilantro-chile butter; continue cooking until cooked through, about 3 minutes more. Serve with lime wedges
