This is one of the easiest and tastiest ways to cook lobster at home. Weβre grilling fresh Jersey lobster and finishing it with a garlic and herb butter that melts straight into the shell. It takes no time at all, and you get that smoky, charred flavour that tastes like its just come off the bbq.
Ingredients
-
1 x lobster, 500g
-
100g unsalted butter
-
4 garlic cloves
-
1 handful of parsley
-
A few chives
-
Juice of ΒΌ a lemon
-
Pinch of sea salt
-
A few wedges of lemon to serve
Directions
Add the softened butter, garlic, herbs, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt to a small blender or food processor. Blitz until smooth and bright green, then set aside.
Bring a large pot of salted water to the boil. Add the lobster whole and boil for 5 minutes. Remove and let it cool slightly.
Place the lobster belly-side down on a board and cut it in half lengthways from head to tail. Remove the stomach sac (just behind the eyes) and the dark vein. Lightly crack the claws with the back of a knife to help release the meat.
Lay the lobster halves shell-side down on a tray. Spread a generous spoonful of the green butter over the flesh, then place under a hot grill for 2β3 minutes, until the butter is bubbling and the meat is just cooked through.
Warm a little of the remaining green butter and serve it on the side for dipping the claw and leg meat. Finish with a squeeze of lemon.
