A delightful recipe for grilled lobster, enhanced with a flavorful herb butter for a gourmet touch.
Fill a large pot with water and bring it to a boil.
Ensure the water is at a rolling boil before adding the lobsters for even cooking.
Add one live lobster to the boiling water, cover, and cook for 3 minutes.
Cooking the lobster partially in water makes it easier to handle for grilling.
Remove the lobster with tongs and repeat the process with the second lobster.
Handle the lobsters carefully to avoid burns.
Cut each lobster in half lengthwise using a knife and cutting board.
Use a sharp knife for clean cuts and to avoid crushing the shell.
Preheat the grill to medium heat.
Ensure the grill grates are clean to prevent sticking.
Mix the butter, minced garlic, and chopped parsley in a small bowl.
Let the butter soften at room temperature for easier mixing.
Place the lobster halves shell-side down on the grill and baste with the herb butter.
Basting frequently ensures the lobster meat stays moist and flavorful.
Grill for 8-9 minutes or until the meat is opaque.
Avoid overcooking to keep the lobster tender.
Serve the grilled lobster with lemon wedges on the side.
Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the lobster for a burst of flavor.
