Grilled whole lobster

Step 1/6

• 2 whole lobster

• large saucepan

Parboil the lobster so you don’t end up with a nicely grilled outside and raw inside. Drop the Lobster in a pot of boiling water and cook for approx. 5 min.

Step 2/6

• ice bath

• barbecue tongs
• large bowl

Now, remove the lobster and shock it in an ice bath to stop it from cooking any further.

Step 3/6

• cutting board
• knife

Slice the lobster lengthwise all the way through into two halves. Clean out the tomalley (green stuff).

Step 4/6

• cutting board
• knife

With the same knife, cut small slits in the claws to vent while cooking.

Step 5/6

• 8 tbsp butter
• 4 tbsp lemon juice
• 2 tsp minced garlic
• salt
• pepper

• brush
• small bowl

Brush the exposed meat with a mixture of melted butter, lemon juice, a little salt and freshly grounded pepper, and, if you want, some minced garlic.

Step 6/6

• barbecue tongs
• grill or grill pan

Clean and lightly oil the grill and get your coals at medium heat. Lay lobster with flesh side down and cook for about 5 min. Turn it over, brush more lemon butter and cook shell side down for another 5 min. When finished the meat should be firm and opaque all the way through. Serve with lemon butter.

Enjoy your meal!
