Grilled whole lobster

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

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

Step 4/6

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

Step 5/6

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.
