Nutrition per serving

• 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.
