Grilled Lobster with Garlic Butter Sauce
- 2 whole Lobsters, Split And Cleaned
- 1/4 cups Melted Butter
- 2 cloves Garlic, Finely Minced
- 2 Tablespoons Chopped Fresh Herbs (i.e. Chives, Parsley, Basil)
- 1/4 teaspoons Kosher Salt (Or 1/8 Teaspoon Table Salt)
- The only reason Im calling this an intermediate recipe is because of dealing with a live lobster.
- Of course you dont have to do this with a whole lobstergrill split lobster tails instead!
- The black that you see on the lobster is GOLD.
- Its the roe of the lobster which turns bright, bright red once its cooked.
- Of course, not everyone is into lobster roe and youre welcome to just remove it and discard before cooking.
- Preheat your grill for medium-high direct heat.
- 1.
- If youre buying a whole, live lobster, ask your fishmonger to split it in half if youre too chicken or squeamish.
- You can also search online for how to kill lobster.
- Youll want to split the lobster in half lengthwise and youll need a very sharp knife and kitchen shears to cut through the shell.
- Remove anything that doesnt look appealing to you, like the green stuff.
- Also remove the vein on the back of the lobster tailthey have one similar to a shrimp, but its probably clear or light pink colored, not black.
- Cut the claws off; youll cook them separately.
- 2.
- In a small bowl, mix together the butter, garlic, herbs and salt.
- Have a long-handled brush ready.
- 3.
- When your grill is hot, add the claws only and cover.
- Cook for 3 minutes.
- Next add the lobster bodies, shell-side up.
- Cover and grill for 3 minutes.
- Turn the lobster over, the bodies and the claws.
- Brush the garlic-butter all over the bodies.
- Cover and cook for 6 to 8 minutes, depending on the size of your lobsters (1 3/4 pound lobster = 6 minutes).
