Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Whole lobsters
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 cup BBQ sauce
- 2 tablespoons Chili paste or sriracha
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 4 pieces Lime wedges for serving
Instructions
Start by preparing the lobsters. Split each lobster in half lengthwise using a sharp knife. Remove the stomach and intestines but keep the meat intact. Rinse and pat dry with paper towels.
Preheat your grill or barbecue to medium-high heat.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, add olive oil and butter. Once melted, sauté the minced garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Stir in the BBQ sauce, chili paste or sriracha, lime juice, honey, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring until the sauce is well combined. Remove from heat.
Brush the lobster meat generously with the chili BBQ sauce, ensuring every crevice is coated.
Place the lobster halves on the grill, shell side down, and cook for 8-10 minutes. Occasionally baste the lobsters with more chili BBQ sauce using a brush. The lobster meat should turn opaque and firm when done.
Remove the lobsters from the grill and transfer them to a serving plate.
Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro and serve with lime wedges on the side for an added citrus kick.
Enjoy your spicy and smoky Chili BBQ Lobster while it’s fresh and hot!
