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.
