Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 whole (approximately 1 to 1.5 lbs each) crayfish lobster
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 1 lemon
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Start by preparing the crayfish lobsters. Use a sharp knife to carefully split each crayfish lobster in half lengthwise. Remove the vein and rinse them under cold water. Pat them dry with paper towels.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Mince the garlic and add it to the butter, sautéing for about 2 minutes until fragrant. Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the chopped parsley, paprika, kosher salt, and black pepper.
Preheat your grill or broiler to medium-high heat.
Brush the exposed flesh of the crayfish lobsters with olive oil to prevent them from sticking to the grill or broiler rack.
Place the crayfish lobsters flesh-side down on the grill or broiler rack. Cook for 5 minutes, then flip them over so that the shell side is facing down.
Generously brush the garlic herb butter over the flesh of the crayfish lobsters and continue cooking for another 7-10 minutes, or until the meat is white and opaque. The cook time may vary depending on the size of the lobsters.
While the lobsters are cooking, cut the lemon in half and grill or broil it cut-side down for 2-3 minutes, until slightly charred. This enhances its flavor.
Once the lobsters are done, remove them from the heat and arrange them on a serving platter. Drizzle any remaining garlic herb butter over the top and garnish with additional chopped parsley.
Serve the crayfish lobsters hot with the grilled lemon halves for squeezing over the meat. Enjoy your Delectable Crayfish Lobster with a side of crusty bread or a fresh salad!
