Grilled Lobsters with Herbed Butter
- 1/2 pounds Sweet Butter
- 2 whole Live, Maine Lobsters (1-1/2 To 2 Pounds)
- 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
- Salt And Pepper, to taste
- 2 whole Lemons, Sliced
- 1/2 teaspoons Chopped Fresh Tarragon
- 1/2 teaspoons Chopped Fresh Parsley
- 1/2 teaspoons Chopped Fresh Chives
- Lemon Wedges, To Serve
- Clarify the butter and keep warm.
- Fill a large lobster pot with water and bring it to a boil.
- Once boiling, pick up the lobster by the body and hold the claws down.
- Cut the rubber bands from the claws and add the lobster to the pot.
- Replace the lid.
- Repeat the process with each lobster.
- Boil lobsters for five minutes.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
- Remove lobsters from the pot after they have boiled for five minutes and place on a cutting board.
- Make an incision with the point of a knife behind the lobsters eyes and push straight down to the board.
- Bring the knife down between the eyes, then turn the lobster around and cut down through the tail and the body.
- Drizzle the meat with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
- Place lobsters, meat side up, on the grill and cook for 7-10 minutes (the tails cook faster) without flipping.
- Add the fresh herbs to the clarified butter and baste the completed lobster.
- Serve with a side of herbed butter and lemon wedges.
