Grilling is a fantastic way to cook lobster, imparting a delightful smoky flavor that complements the natural sweetness of the meat. This high-heat method quickly sears the shell, locking in the juices and creating a wonderfully aromatic dish.

Cooking Instructions:

Prepare the Lobster: Begin by cleaning the live lobster. The most effective method for grilling is to split the lobster in half lengthwise. Place it on a cutting board and use a large, sharp knife to cleanly cut from the head straight down through the tail. Remove the intestinal tract and the stomach sac (located behind the eyes). Lightly crack the claws with the back of the knife to allow heat to penetrate.
Season: Brush the exposed lobster meat generously with melted butter or olive oil. This will prevent it from drying out and promote beautiful browning. Season liberally with salt and pepper. For enhanced flavor, you can create a simple garlic-herb butter by mixing minced garlic and chopped parsley into the melted butter.
Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Ensure the grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking. Place the lobster halves on the grill, shell-side down first. Grill for 5-6 minutes until the shell begins to turn bright red and the butter is sizzling. Then, carefully flip the lobster so it is meat-side down and grill for an additional 2-3 minutes. This final step gives the meat a direct, flavorful sear. The lobster is done when the meat is opaque and firm.
Serve: Transfer the grilled lobster to a serving platter. Serve immediately with lemon wedges and extra melted butter on the side for dipping.

Pro-Tip: Do not overcook the lobster, as the meat can become tough and rubbery. The high, direct heat of the grill cooks it relatively quickly. For an extra layer of flavor, you can add a handful of wood chips (like hickory or cherry) to your grill to create a light smoke.
