Dr. Bbq'S Lobster With Chili-Lime Butter
- 1 cup (8 ounces) butter
- Juice of 2 limes
- 2 tablespoons good-quality chili powder
- Salt, as needed
- Black pepper, as needed
- 2 whole live Maine lobsters, about 1 1/2 pounds each
- Your favorite barbecue rub, as needed
- Prepare the grill for cooking over direct medium heat. In a small saucepan, melt the butter and blend in the lime juice, chili powder, and salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
- Split the lobsters completely in half down the back with a chef's knife. Remove the tails and claws. Discard the rest. Crack the shells on the claws and inject or drizzle them each with 1 tablespoon of the butter. Season the tails lightly with the rub. Grill the tails and claws for about 5 minutes on each side. Spoon some of the Chili-Lime Butter into the tail shells. Cook until the lobster is just barely done, another 4 to 5 minutes. This will vary depending on your grill. Serve the remaining Chili-Lime Butter for dipping.
