Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 whole lobsters (1.5 pounds each) lobster
- 8 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 large, minced garlic cloves
- 1 medium, juiced lemon
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the lobsters and parboil for 5 minutes. Remove them from the pot and let them cool slightly.
Once cooled, use a sharp knife to carefully split the lobsters lengthwise, all the way down to the tail.
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute, or until fragrant. Remove from heat and stir in the lemon juice, parsley, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper.
Brush the lobster meat lightly with olive oil to prevent sticking to the grill.
Place the lobster halves, shell side down, on the preheated grill for about 5 minutes.
Generously brush the lobster meat with the garlic herb butter. Continue grilling for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the lobster meat is opaque and cooked through, basting with butter occasionally.
Remove the lobsters from the grill and transfer to a serving platter.
Serve immediately with any remaining garlic herb butter for dipping.
