Grilled Lobster

By á-46

Ingredients

• For food safety, it is very important to grill the lobsters immediately after they have been boiled and split.
• 3/4 cup olive oil (DON'T USE MELTED BUTTER IT BURNS WAY TO FAST AND WILL BURN THE LOBSTER INSTEAD OF COOK IT)
• 4 garlic cloves, minced or garlic powder to taste
• lobsters

Preparation

Step 1

Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Drop 1 lobster headfirst into large pot of boiling water. Cover; cook 3 minutes (lobster will not be fully cooked). Using tongs, transfer lobster to baking sheet. Return water to boil. Repeat with remaining lobsters.

Transfer 1 lobster, shell side down, to work surface. Place tip of large knife in center of lobster. Cut lobster lengthwise in half from center to end of head (knife might not cut through shell), then cut in half from center to end of tail. Use poultry shears to cut through shell if necessary. Repeat with remaining lobsters.


Place lobster halves, meat side up, on barbecue. Brush meat with some olive oil and garlic; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cover barbecue; grill lobsters until just opaque in thickest portion of tail, about 9 minutes. Remove from barbecue; arrange lobsters on platter. Brush with more olive oil and garlic.
